I sneezed 43 times today already and let me tell you the day is still young! Ooh, nasty cold. Ive had it for 3 days now. My Dad is the one who carried in the virus. Then my Mom caught who passed it on to me. My Moms cold is not over yet so we're kinda sniffing and sneezing back and forth.LOL I sneezed many times yesterday too so I thought Id count my number of sneezes today. 43 is the current number and still counting that includes the most number of consecutive sneezes. Hmm, maybe Ill try counting tomorrow.LOL
Anyways, my head hurts and my ears are still ringing from all the sneezing. I think I have mucous and I talk funny. Have you had any colds this nasty? What did you do about it?
What homemade remedies can you suggest and (if you have counted) how many is your most number of sneezes in a day..?(sniff)

As soon as I think that I'm going to have one, I raise my fluid in take, no cold water for me... I'd usually stir hot water with orange juice or better yet, pomelo juice so that I could really feel it through my itching throat and help me take out what I have to take out of me.
I also don't want to infect others, or most likely, I have been infected by them. None-the-less, I try to get my own mugs to drink and utensils I use until I'm clear from colds.. they say that you'd get a cold once every year but, I really don't take note of that on my own.
I really hate it when my throat is itchy due to colds and coughs are also one of the things that I don't want it to follow.
Hope you get well soon

I eat chocolate when I feel Im starting to have a cold. No reason, I just like to.LOL Then I switch it up. I mean I eat soups then after a few hours eat ice cream. Something like that. Usually works especially when Im successful at suppressing a sneeze because if I sneeze there's no going back. Its likely going to be a full blown cold. I dont have it now but I still have some slight cough. Ill try your suggestions next time. I do know that I only get colds twice a year. Ive kept track. Thanks for the response.^_^

dear you take care. This virus thing kinda kill us with sneezes and coughs. My mom cuts the ginger into juliennes and sprinkle fresh lime juice and salt and pepper on it. I keep it inside mouth all the time. It feels good. Or else I drink ginger tea - it works amazing!

You should try chicken soup. It helps lightens the heavy feelings caused by colds. Whenever I have a colds or even headache, I always go for warm soup particularly chicken. And ginger tea ( salabat in tagalog ) makes a very good cure for colds although it takes time to prefer but its worth it.

i usually take some nyquil i hate the taste but that is the only thing that seems to work for me and my family. i take about a cup and a half (not a regular cup, the cup that comes with it.) and i make sure i am comfortable and warm and i get in bed and go to sleep and the next morning i am feeling so relaxed. or you could even try the tylenol cough syrup it is good and it has ok tastes.

hmm, I havent heard of nyquil. Maybe we dont have it here. I am sure that we dont have tylenol here. Its either that or Im just not aware of it. The most popular cold medicine that I know of that is available here is Neozep. Im not really a fan of medicines. I usually just let my cold run its course. Its subsided now and I only have a slight cough. Thanks for the tips.^_^
