I have the beginnings of a cold or flu coming on. I'm achy and my throat is starting to hurt. I have a headache and I have that not so good feeling. I need some remedies that will hopefully work to make me better quicker. Please let me know any home remedies or medical remedies that have really worked for you.

Take some Zicam, the cheapest you can find, it doesn't matter...I got it at the Dollar General, I think and some Echanasia - that's where the vitamins and supplements are - take 2 now and then 1 tomorrow if needed. Take it ASAP, as soon as you read this go and get some if you don't have it! Then I'd recommend that you rub some Vicks on your neck, chest, nose and forehead if needed and lie down. The Echanasia especially really works for me, I've fought off many cold and flu bugs that I felt coming on! Some will say they don't really work, that it's all in your head if you say it does but I don't care if it's "in my head" or not, it really does help me. If you try it let me know if it works for you. Annie

Nyquil at least relieves the symptoms and puts you to sleep for more healing. You should also boost Vitamin C, potassium and calcium consumption to help you from the health side. Hot teas can warm the body and help fight off some of the infection. Be sure to keep your body towards the hot side, but do not hit 106 Fahrenheit.
