Favorite cold remedies

[Geonz]

Gargling with salt water, Slurping down the oj, and the last time I was feeling that chilled and funky feeling, I'd just acquired a small space heater, and I plugged it in and blasted it and went to sleep, and woke up ALL BETTER. Makes me rethink the idea that "you don't catch a cold from being cold."

(yes, I did make sure my clutter was no-where near the heat element.)

Sage tea with honey and lemon (although hot water with brandy, honey and lemon is good too), chicken soup, Vicks VapoRub cream, warm socks when I go to bed

Extra blankets and as much sleep as you can. Plus, drink lots of liquids.

[Kitsune06]

lots of layers, so I look like I'm about 3x my size (Michelin woman...) but enough to keep chill out, chicken soup, Day/Nyquil when I have to work...
If I have the day off, I wear lots of warm clothes, stay warm, have chicken soup with ginger in it, Gypsy Cold Care tea with honey, and probably around 5g of vitamin c, spaced through the day. (that's 5 Emer'gen-c packets or more) or a lot of pills... I prefer emergen-c- just about to the point of tolerance. I'm over it in a day or two, then.

Zinc lozenges, vit C, chicken soup, Ricola cough drops.

Warm woolies and lots of sleep.

Damp washcloth over my face if I have to breathe through my mouth.
