I haven't had a cold for 10 years so I haven't had to deal with them..Of course,,dealing with this stress has probably depressed my immune system to a degree. I have been sniffling and sneezing since yesterday. What is your favorite cold remedy? I don't have a sore throat fortunately, it seems to be basically sneezing and sniffling problem at this point. Ahh Choo!

My husband discovered Vicks Nyquil for night and Vicks Dayquil for daytime. So, we take one dose at bedtime and get a good night's sleep. Then the other one for daytime, to ward off all those awful symptoms. We do this for about a week, until our cold is completely gone. It does work!

I should have gotten Nyquil yesterday instead of Melatonin. I bet that would have knocked me out!

@snowy22315 It works beautifully, to ease all those miserable symptoms, for as long as you need it.

@snowy22315 Was it a cold or it was due to pollen? This is a pollen season.

Anything citrus, orange juice or straight up oranges are the best. And some warm tea.

@snowy22315 Makes sense haha I just normally go after anything citrus when I am sick. Works right away since I don't like medications.

I usually take some over the counter standard cold medicine and let it run its course. Having a cold is horrible

Yes, but some are worse than others..This one isn't making me too miserable. I just don't feel 100 percent. The worst thing is that lingering cough. I hope I don't get that. I don;t think I will this time..wrong time of the year for it.
