Tips to stop a cold? Is it possible?

fussyonion · 08-12-2013 02:17AM #1

I can feel the beginnings of a cold coming on; stingy sensation in my nose and throat, blocked nostril etc.
Are there any cures to stop a cold in its' tracks or am I destined for a week of snots and sneezes?

I find a few hot whiskeys usually help but I have a thumping headache the next day.

Amputate your big toe with a spoon, won't help your cold but you will forget all about your blocked nose.

that could be serious

Honest answer? Paracetamol, orange juice, loads of water and a good sleep usually catches it for me

Bate about 3 large hot whiskeys into you with lemon and cloves. Any more and it will lower your defences but 3 certainly won't do you any harm. It heads off the cold at the pass most times. If you can hack it, try it.

Flat 7up and toast. Sort you right out.

*Serious answer, not really much you can do. Rest, drink plenty of fluids and let your immune system deal with it.

Echinaforce Forte.
Take at the first sign of a cold and you'll be grand

johnayo · 08-12-2013 02:26AM

Take plenty vitamin C. Will help.

Berocca Boost in a big pint of water 2-3 times a day - You will be whizzing like a race-horse but works for me

I don't analyze farts for their aromas!

Have the flu myself and feel awful, just typing this feels like climbing a mountain, with a ruck sack full of rocks. God make me well, I'll be good from now on, I swear. I'll give money to charities and do charity work for the poor and the homeless too, who have even less than the poor. I'll never watch porn again either, apart from Seymore Butts' movies, but that's more comedy than anything. Let me live again, Clarence, please let me live again.

Flu is worse, I grant you.
I had the flu jab in November 'cos I'm a carer so I won't have to suffer that badly, but even having a cold is just the pits.
It just makes me so tired and worn out.
