What is your number one cold rememdy?   

When I get a cold I try to take some kind of medicine so the symptoms are not so bad. If I have runny nose and watery eyes i try to take an antihistimine but it is hard to do during the day especially if you are at work. I don't get colds very often so if it is a bad cold I usually stay home because my eyes usually water so much I can't work anyway and I can take the antihistamine and then nap for a while. At night the one thing I always take is Nyquil or even the store brand of Nyquil. It works for me and lets me get rest which I think a good nights rest helps you get over it, at least it does for me.

I boost the system with Colizin (zink and vitamin C pills), and a home-made remedy consisting of the juice from one grapefruit, one orange and one lemon, then as much boiling water as there is juice, and some honey for flavor. Does wonders!

I also use a nasal spray that takes care of both the congestion and the runny nose at the same time.

A glass of hot milk with a teaspoon of honey and a dash of whiskey before I go to bed. Makes me sleep like a log even if my nose is bunged up and I feel better for having had a good night's sleep.
I repeat every evening until the cold starts diminishing.

My number one remedy, is to eat a clove of raw garlic. The problem with this is the smell and it's OK if I am not going out socializing.

I also juice ginger, apple and garlic together and drink it.. . Derek

well, I suggest that u shud take cetrizine or allegra if its disturbing u very much along with taking steam twice.. its extremely helpful.. if any other prob is there then u shud show a doctor..

I just take some chicken noodle soup. I take some Tylenol and some hot tea to drink. I also need alot of rest for my body to recuperate. Thanks.

when i get cold, the best remedy which i like is to inhale steam in which some kind of balm or drops of eucalyptus oil are put. it creates great aroma and i feel very comfort, i dont eat lemons, yogurt kind of stuff. i never prefer using any kind of medicines when i get cold, because what i believe is if left like that it will itself reduce within three to four days and i have read somewhere that no medicines work for cold, i dont know whether that is true or false, but then, i dont prefer using medicines and instead inhale steam that comes from hot water.

Mine usually goes away on it's own but for my honey I get "Niquil or Dayquil"
that usually helps.

Hi,
Twin approach-Warm saline Gargle & hot compress around nose-ear-throat.(minimum 4-5times/day).

I buy lots of soft tissues and a coconut lip balm. That is helpful for the sore skin around my lips and nose. I use my fingers to apply some around my nose area. I drink cranberry juice when my throat is sore. If I feel it is necessary I drink watered down lemon juice. At night I make sure I have loads of tissues and a glass of water because my throat gets dry when I can't breathe through my nose.
