Fastest way to relieve cough and colds...

i once had a cough that lasts me for 3 weeks.. i have everything but nothing seems to really help.. so i go back to basics, drink lotsa hot or warm water.. it will feel the throat feel better and cure the cough :) for blockage of nose when sleeping at night, sleep on 2 pillows :)

Well gurgle of hot water with Asprin or table salt as good for infection but sure go to doctor and take some anti biotic

Hi my friend I hope you feeling better by now. I think you just have let the cold ride its self out. Drinking plenty of water is a great idea. And getting alot of rest and staying warm is a help too! Feel better.

I think if it gets worse, the best thing is take a medicine like capsules or tablets for which are specially curing colds. You can also also take some fruits which are rich in vitamin C, like oranges. I take a supplement to avoid catching these types of illness, I'm glad that it worked for me since I haven't had any for a year now!;)

Do all the things the others have suggested but also take some echanasia. Take 2 immediately if you have it, if not get it ASAP and keep it on hand. It's not expensive and you can get the store brand, I don't think it matters. But take 2 the first time then take 1 either later in the day or the next day, depending on the time you take the first dose. If you're like me your symptoms will be gone. Some say it doesn't really work but I'm telling you the truth, it does for me! Annie

Hiya mycharm88. I also have colds right now, but I feel a lot better compared to last night. Last night, my nose was clogged and I had a headache. I drank lots of water and fruit juice and ate fresh fruits.

well, I have had a cold the same time as you haha... I hope you are feeling better by now dear mycharm. I am only taking the cold pills at night so I can sleep and once during the day, but i do not work in an office. I work different places and some at home. The pills work good, but i dont like to use them. Only get colds once a year. it is cold here now in california. Alka-Seltzer makes good cold pills you put in water, lemon taste. Bye now! -cliff

eat pepper tablets thats enough

Well actually there is nothing like fastest remedy for this ..but can tell you some things which are closest to that. You can get a nice steam from a big bowl of boiled water. - take a big bowl of boiled water and mix half tables spoon of vicks or less than that in that bowl while mixing it get a blanket to cover yourself to get the steam. It opens up your nose as well as your throat. And after that stay under the blanket for a while. If cough is more, then you can get gargles from a glass ofhot water with a table spoon of salt in it. Gargle twice a day will help you a lot. Before going to bed apply some vicks on your chest and neck it will warm your chest. ( remember chest and stomach are the two things which when exposed gets you the cold.) Try covering them for couple of weeks. And yes human looses lot of heat from his body through feet only so you must wear a nice pair of socks in home and outside both. I hope this will work..!! OR GO TO A DOCTOR if this cold is not getting away. :)

Get lots of vitamin c, drink lots of juice loaded with vitamin c. for colds, i try getting steam to release the clogs on my nose, either by doing it at home using pans filled with water and putting my head so that i could inhale the vapor or by going to sauna. for cough, you wouldn't believe this but vodka helps alot especially for itchy throat. Of course dont forget to get cough medicine also And AMPLE REST.

hi there mycharm88 yes i dont have a cold but i have been sneezing all day today and its really bad i have hay fever thanks for this discussion and happy postings

Hi,there! Well,I never know the way that you mentioned.Thanks for sharing and maybe you can tell me later whether it's really useful:) I think it's good to drink more water and eat more fruits. You'd better have some soup at the same time together with vegetables.If that's not enough,maybe you gotta take some liquid medicine for help. I hope you'll get well soon! Best wishes and good luck! Have a nice day^_^

Salt water will work too. Just gargle with warm salt water a few times will help cleanup your throat.

hi mycharm!! ^__^ i hope you're doing okay now and feeling better from the coughs and colds. its really the "in" thing these days because of the cold weather. i do hope that the vicks was effective. i never tried it but i have heard that it really can relieve simple colds and coughs. especially if you have clogged nose. just continue drinking lots of water and eat lots of fruits. ^__^

I've had an email recently about putting Vicks on the soles of your feet to relieve coughs and colds. Have you tried it? Does it work? Plese let us know. I still believe in the old fashioned home made remedy to relieve coughs at night by making a drink with hot water, glycerine and lemon. I always used it for my kids and it worked! Another remedy is to heat lemonade, drink it warm and take a Panadol (headache tablet) before bedtime. It sweats the cold out of you. Hope either of these two work for you mycharm!

hey take care, you can keep on sipping hot water, take steam add vicks in the hot water and cover ur self from cloth and breathe at a distance from the water.Take milk add turmeric powder to it and drink it.make a paste of turmeri powder and milk drops in it heat the mixture apply it on nose as well as forehead. these are quick relief tips for cough eat jaggery and onion taken at a time.eat strepsils.take care,sleep well.donot expose your nose in alot of air.
