Nyquil is my best friend when I'm sick. Tonight is no exception...I've got a raging cold and I'm getting ready to hit the Nyquil bottle in just a bit!! Hope you feel better!!

Try Vicks-vapor-rub. I have used it on all my children and grandchildren. Just like my Mom used on her family. It smells sometimes not so good but it sure does work.

When I feel a cold coming on I start the ColdEze, aspirin and Gatorade...my colds don't seem to last as long as everyone elses.

I use Chloriseptic for a sore throat, vitamin C to help boost my immune system, a cold medecine with decongestant & expectorant for daytime relief, and Theraflu for nighttime relief.

I think the best thing to help get rid of any illness is plenty of rest/sleep. Anything you can do to make yourself comfortable and assure plenty of sleep is a plus.

I use the daytime Alka Seltzer plus cold medicine during the day and switch to the night time formula when I get to stay home. If I am really, really bad off, I'll take Nyquil. Vicks vapor rub doesn't hurt either.

Zinc lozenges! Zinc lozenges! Zinc lozenges!
I have not had a cold in years and neither have my 2 DD's who are exposed to every germ imaginable in school.
Trick is when you start feeling like it is coming on start taking a couple a day immediately.
I just buy the cheapest "Zinc Lozenges" I can find at Wal-Mart or Target abd they work great.
I told my DM and it works for her and she has told a ton of people too that have all praised it.
Zinc I tell ya!

I'd dance with the seniors but you were already in bed

Whenever I feel a cold coming on I take Loratadine. For some reason it works 99% of the time; my cold subsides and I feel fine. Perhaps it won't work for you but I thought I'd mention it. Take care!

Zicam! This stuff's the best! You can get it in a nasal spray or a swab. I choose the swab, cause you can throw it away, and you don't have to share the spray bottle with other family members (GROSS!)

It really helps lessen the effects of a cold, and shorten the duration.
