Hot fluids help too. =) Especially tea with mint. =) I just hope colds didn't exist in the face of this planet.. =P

I think my diet helps me not get too many colds. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and no dairy as dairy increases the production of mucus and makes the cold worse. You also need to get good exercise and drink plenty.

Yeah. My mom always tells me to drink lots of liquids, especialy fruit juices, when I have colds. =) If I can't take it, I just use those menthol decongestants, at least they make me feel better. =)

I totally agree with you. Colds is a nuisance. I don't like it either. What I usually do is to drink paracetamol biogesic and drink a lot of water and eat a lot of fruits. I usually relieved myself by some cold ointment those made by chinese.

I try to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids and soup. I have had my cold for about 2 weeks now and I have taken alot of medicine for it. I am still coughing my head off even though I am still doing everything mentioned above. I can't wait to feel better and stop coughing.

When I have a bad case of colds I just take some decongestants, drink lots of water and have plenty of rest. Make sure you get enough sleep and don't stay up all night, also it is important that you always have a daily dose of vitamins, vitamin C to be more exact.

Yeah. Vitamin C really helps out when people have colds. Fruit juices. For some reason, those tablets that supposedly treat colds doesn't work for me.. =/
