Share your cure for the common cold with me
 I don't know if it was the change of climate when we went 'up north' last week or the fact my hubby has kept me awake for the past 3 nights with his snorting, hacking, moaning, sneezing anything else you can thing of...but I feel like crap.  My throat is sore, my teeth ache, no cough but everything in my body aches. 

So, Good Samartians, share your cure for the common cold with me and I will try them all...either one by one or, if I don't feel better soonest, all at once!

 Sleep!  I let my body use all its energy toward getting me better.  Of course with two little ones around, I don't get to do that!

 Hot tea with honey and lemon always helps my scratchy throat.  Also...gargle with salt water...it's gross, but it works!

I swear by that Airborne stuff...if you take it at the first sign of a cold, it really seems to lessen the symptoms and shorten the duration.

 Sleep, warm liquids and high-potency (2000 IUs) Vitamin D. I was staying so run down and miserable and since I've started with this I haven't had one cold (knock on all things wooden!!) in over a year!

I hope you feel better soon!

 I don't usually take any otc meds for colds. I just drink lots of liquids, try to rest & let the cold run it's course. However I do get the flu shot every year & I've been fairly lucky although I don't really know if the flu shot is what's helping me or not.

 when I catch those symptoms early on, I take the day off, get a 1/2 gal of the best oj - and sleep and eat comfort food if I am hungry.  If my throat hurts bad, I buy this liquid called "tylenol sore throat" it's the best thing I have ever found!
I know you can take vitamin C pills but something about the OJ - I think it kills the germs in your throat.


I stay in bed or the couch and just rest - (but I don't have kids so it's easy)

Okay, I don't really know if the chocolate helps, but it certainly can't hurt! ;)

 Lots of rest and Vitamin C.

Seriously. I don't like to take a lot of meds and never have so the above works for me the rare times I get a cold.
