Question

anybody know how to get rid of cold or throat infection?

Answer 1

Vitamin C and Zinc. Hot liquids. Rest. Garlic and onions are natural antibiotics. If you have a high fever see a doctor.

Answer 2

No but I have a few tips to relieve your discomfort.
1. Gargle several times a day with peroxide directions are on the back
2. Run a hot steam vaporizer 24 hrs a day (Walmart $17.00) will help everybody in the house!
3. Take in a lot of vitamin C eat oranges or even extra vitamins
4. Hot chicken broth with minced garlic, garlic vitamins will do I guess (garlic fights infections as well as echinacea))
5. Lysol spray and bleach the bathroom.
6. Wash your hands I mean a good scale would be once an hour.
7. DO NOT SMOKE (stop for a day or to)
8. Keep your head warm at night or when you sleep (toboggan)
9. Keep cotton in your ears 24 hrs a day for a few days (put Vick's salve on the cotton first feels soothing.)
10. Put Vick's salve on your chest & under your nose when you sleep.
11. Only clear liquids for a couple days broth, jello, juice etc.
12. Keep your throat warm with a wrap (scarf) of some kind, at home a hot rag on your throat in the recliner sound nice!
13. Don't go out with a wet head!

I know all this sounds like a lot of trouble, but when your feeling sick it all really helps. I'll do about anything to feel better, I HATE BEING SICK!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

For a cold drink Lemsip or beechams or whatever's available in your part of the world mixed with honey, sliced ginger and sliced lemon. For a throat infection you need an antiboitic. If you suffer from sore throats often try gargling with salty water a couple of times a day. I've often caught a sore throat and gotten rid of it at the first sign with salty water. Some over-the-counter throat sprays are also helpful.

Answer 4

grapefruit seed extract. Either gargle with it diluted in water or sip it diluted in juice (or the last swallow of nearly cold tea or coffee - I find it doesn't taste that bad then). I find it works wonders. Only came down with a cold or a serious sore throat when word didn't allow me to take the stuff when I felt I needed it... Available from Higher Nature. Commercial name citricidal. No other brands available as far as I know. Not cheap but you only need like 5 drops at a time.

Answer 5

afraid there is no cure for a virus, but to relieve symptoms try warm honey and lemon. gargle salt water as that will help to get rid of any infection in your throat. you can get throat sprays which have an aneasethic in them, they are good for some instant pain relief. plenty of rest and drink lots of water.

Answer 6

I took 500mg. of vitamin C every 2 hours and my cold and throat infection went away after 3 days. Good luck. It worked for me.

Answer 7

The best thing I know for a sore throat is natural honey, I pour a spoonful, it is a bit of a shock for the system because it is so sweet but a couple of those and my sore throat goes away.

Answer 8

well, number one is drink lots of water, and when you see it coming on take advil, or a form of ibuprofen. if you say throat infection, then it might be something else. are you coughing? if so, it might be a sinus because fluid from your nasal passage drains down and makes your throat sore and makes you cough. in that case you should go see your doc, or you might have it for awhile.

Answer 9

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/iKiVT
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.
