This may sound really stupid but it always works for me. I have a hot shower and wash my hair then i hop into bed with damp not wet hair and have 2 disprin dissolved in hot lemon juice fresh lemons better . The next morning no sign of a cold . It is best done when you first feel the onset of a cold. I cannot recommend it to others as it may make it worse i an just saying it always works for me

Does not sound like something I want to try now that the weather is Cooler here. But I say when ever something is working for someone that is what they need to keep on doing.

Mostly lots and lots of sleep. It's good for your poor sick body, and while you're sleeping you forget about how miserable you feel.

I usually have to end up going to the doctor, most the time the medicine I get off the shelf don't work, and I rest.

for me, i drink warm honey with ginger,it is very effective for me. Another situation where I also have this same drink is when I am having menstrual pain. Tip: buy an older ginger not the young ginger but older ginger is hotter. Attached is picture of ginger & organic wild raw honey .This is the wild raw honey I drink every morning with empty stomach,it is good in preventing the body to get heaty.
