I didn't believe the lady the other night that said to take a hot bath and put in 1 tsp of mustard and 1 tsp baking powder and soak for 20 minutes. Put on PJ's and get in a warm bed, she wasn't kidding, it made me feel like a million the next day.
They have the cold tablets that put off the vapors in a shower, they work nicely also.
Try fluids and lots of them. Take it easy and take care of yourself, it's a virus, no cure.
I got a package from the Dr. once that was for a cold and it had tylenol cold, kleenex and vicks in it. Was a great gift. Used it right up!
Try the hot shower, with the steam coming into the room while you relax in the bathroom. That sometimes helps also.
Please, don't give it to me, I can't take being sick!!! LOL
Take care of yourself!

Tea with lemon and honey will help soothe your throat. Just get as much sleep as possible, and avoid medications. People who take medication freely seem to get sick more often or the meds don't work as well the next time. But yeah, sleep is always the best remedy for me.

When I have a cold I take 1 bottle of Brandy and drink as much as possible, It will not cure the cold but it makes you feel a whole lot better.
