Answer 1

Try homeopathic oscillococcinum. The attached link provides all the information. You can order it from them or purchase it at your local health food store. I would stick with Boiron, though.

Answer 2

There's an old joke that a cold if you do nothing lasts 14 days but with good treatment you'll be well in just two weeks!

There are medicines that can help, but if you insist on do it yourself, there is a company called Traditional Medicines that makes all natural teas that can make you much more comfortable, including one called Cold Care. They have a cold and flu sampler you might want to try and they don't taste bad.

Humidify the air you breathe if you can and you may find menthol vapors soothing too. If you don't have a humifier, go in the bathroom and close the door and run the hot water in the shower for five or ten minutes every few hours. Eat foods with spices and chiles to thin mucus.

Take lots of extra vitamin C and zinc and drink plenty of fluids. You need extra rest, If you can spend a whole day doing nothing but sleeping, you may lop several days off the cold. Children do this instinctively.

Another trick is to take a bath as hot as you can stand without getting burned to raise your temperature and make you body more hostile to viruses.

Cold remedies: What works

If you catch a cold, you can expect to be sick for about a week. But that doesn't mean you have to be miserable. These remedies may help:

* Water and other fluids. You can't flush a cold out of your system, but drinking plenty of liquids can help. Water, juice, clear broth or warm lemon water with honey helps loosen congestion and prevents dehydration. Avoid alcohol, coffee and caffeinated sodas, which make dehydration worse.
* Salt water. A saltwater gargle — 1/2 teaspoon salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water — can temporarily relieve a sore or scratchy throat.
* Saline nasal sprays. Over-the-counter saline nasal sprays combat stuffiness and congestion. Unlike nasal decongestants, saline sprays don't lead to a rebound effect — a worsening of symptoms when the medication is discontinued — and most are safe and nonirritating, even for children.
* Chicken soup. Generations of parents have spooned chicken soup into their sick children. Now scientists have put chicken soup to the test, discovering that it does seem to help relieve cold and flu symptoms in two ways. First, it acts as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the movement of neutrophils — immune system cells that participate in the body's inflammatory response. Second, it temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus through the nose, helping relieve congestion and limiting the amount of time viruses are in contact with the nose lining. Researchers at the University of Nebraska compared homemade chicken soup with canned versions and found that many, though not all, canned chicken soups worked just as well as soups made from scratch.
* Over-the-counter cold medications. Nonprescription decongestants and pain relievers offer some symptom relief, but they won't prevent a cold or shorten its duration, and most have some side effects. If used for more than a few days, they can actually make symptoms worse. Keep in mind that acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) can cause serious liver damage or liver failure if taken in high doses. It's common for people to take Tylenol in addition to flu medications that also contain acetaminophen, which can lead to drug overdoses. Read the labels of any cold medication carefully to make sure you're not overdosing.
* Humidity. Cold viruses thrive in dry conditions — another reason why colds are more common in winter. Parched air also dries the mucous membranes, causing a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. A humidifier can add moisture to your home, but it can also add mold, fungi and bacteria if not cleaned properly. Change the water in your humidifier daily, and clean the unit at least once every three days.

When I was pregnant, I got a real bad cold, couldn't take meds for it and needed to breathe.I sat down with a bowl of salsa and chips and hot lemonade with honey in it.I kept eating the salsa and chips because it helped me breathe and the hot lemonade helped my throat.Later I got a stomache ache and ran to the potty a few times,but the next morning the cold was completely gone.That remedy has worked for me since,but not every time,I think the trick is eating enough of it.Zinc works really good too if you take it when you first get the cold.Zinc lozenges work best for me.Good luck.

Answer 5

I can say for sure this is true but you must understand it is horrible. Take a real garlic, cut it up, put it in bread and eat it. If it starts getting hot eat more bread asap.
Now if you are married warn your spouse you are doing this. Go to bed. You will sweat and when you awake you will smell like garlic however your cold is pretty much gone. Remember you will sweat it out...your clothes will be damp most likely, mine was. Good Luck.
