Does anybody know the best cure for a flu or colds?  

Are you getting enough vitamin C? Alot of times, if you do not have enuogh vitamin C, your body has a hard time getting and staying healthy.

Traditional advice is to rest as much as possible, drink a lot of water and take Vitamin C. Zinc tablets can also help sometimes. Echinacea has been found to shorten the length of virus symptoms. Don't take OTC medicine like Comtrex. That helps in the short term, but can make the symptoms last longer because it lowers your natural immunity by suppressing the very things your body is trying to do to rid you of it.

The reality of why we get sick so often is because we don't get enough rest. Are you getting enough sleep every night? Sometimes Vitamin C will not help as much immediately. You need to continuously have it in you in order to boost your immune system. You can do this by drinking plenty of fluids such as orange juice, cranberry juice, etc. Also, a type of medicine that works is Airborne. It helps prevent and get rid of colds that you may have. You just have to put a drop of it in water or juice and you are good to go. It works like magic! I hope this helps

o you do sound poorly , stay under the duvet and make sure you have plenty to drink , I always take paracetomol every 3/4/hours . You must take what suits you best .Hope you will be recovering in a couple of days .. take care *

I prefer home remedies over taking flu medications. I'd like to share some remedies I often use to treat my colds.
1. Breathe aromatic steam. Drape a towel over your head and lean over a basin of steaming water with a teaspoon of Vicks vaporub and then breathe in the steam. You may also use 2 tablespoons of chopped ginger instead of Vicks Vaporub.
2. Increase your intake of fluids except coffee, tea or alcoholic beverages. Water will help liquify thick mucus.
3. Drink some ginger tea to relieve sore throat. Boil a thumb size ginger in water. Drink it as a tea with a teaspoon of honey. Ginger as anti-microbial and immune stimulating properties.
4. Put some Vicks vaporub on the soles of your feet at night and then wear socks over them. It will help you breathe more easily and ease up coughing.
5. Stay in bed and rest, rest, rest. Rest and sleep gives the body time to heal.
Get well soon.=)
