It's cold season -- how do you handle a cold?

I would still have to go to the beach as it clears my head then a good hot vegetable curry and chips, comforting and it clears the sinuses, and a hot water bottle and snuggly blanky of course.

This year I am learning that no matter what the ailment, I need to make every effort not to get dehydrated. This is especially true when I have some cold symptoms. I take my vitamins, eat fruit, soup, drink juices. I treat symptoms, first with mucinex, or the generic version. If necessary I take pain relievers, decongestants, antihystamines. I try to only treat the symptoms I am actually having, so I buy these products in separate tablets. If possible, I get some extra sleep. Do you have a cold right now? I guess Vicks vapor rub is another of my old standbys.

My Mom gave us boiled egg in the winter at night daily but i do n't eat it now. I think that if u eat an egg daily and take a cup of tea and eat few other such beneficial diets and always cover ur head in the winter whenever u go outside from home then u can save urself from all affects of winter. Cold weather did n't affect me too much this year and i am thankful to God for it.

Because of my Illness I have to go to the Doctor and get something on Prescription every time as a cold can Kill me. I had a virus 3 weeks ago and because after 2 Days it was near enough gone I didn't go to the Doctor, I know have Pleuracy in both my Lungs and of course I got a telling of again by the Doctor.

We drink hot tea or hot lemon water. Both seem to help quite a bit on nipping colds in the butt. Also vicks is a wonder tool. lol It helps with stuffy noses, runny noses, sore throats, & coughs! Orange juice of course and hot chicken/beef broth.

I start drinking echinacea tea at the first sign of a cold. Also I eat lots of raw garlic. It helps me get well much faster. It also keeps anyone else from getting it because they won't get close enough to me to get my germs. :)

Well i just wore out warm clothes while i just walk out side of house and while i am inside of house i just sat on a bed.
