My dream girl is poorly tonight

I usually find a hot and steamy bath, followed by a hot toddy and then a hot and steamy session in the bedroom does it for me every time!

Unfortunately, there is no "cure" however, they are correct, Zicam is useful in cutting it short. Decongestants and Antihistamines help in keeping the nose clear.
Push fluids especially water, at least 64 oz a day and green tea, they help to flush the virus out of your body. B vitamins, Vitamin C and Zinc...all help.
One thing we "concoct" in my family is tea, fresh lemon juice, honey, a halls cough drop and a peppermint. Brew your tea, pour it over the cough drop and peppermint then add the lemon and honey to taste. Sound kinda gross, but you will be surprised at how it helps your chest and nose.
Hope she feels better!

Cold and Influenza is caused by a viral pathogen and cannot be fought against by any medicinal products. Virus' aren't living organisms and medicines are used to fight living pathogens (anti-biotics ; anti-life.) Therefore the best cure for a cold is to have a balanced diet, hydrate the body and wait for our immunlogical response system to kick in.

I swear by a product called Cold Fx
It's a good preventative or treatment option
Once you have the cold, you take three capsules 3x daily for 1st day
Second day 2 pills 3x daily
third day 1 pill 3x daily
and it works well
You can also take one a day for prevention during cold season

Try honey and lemon juice with boiling water. But yh just try and not get it in the first place by sleeping enough, eating properly and getting lots of vitamin c (why do you think you don't get colds in the summer, and don't say 'cos it's warm, it's 'cos you eat more vitamin c). Get well soon

Maybe not a cure per se but try Oscillococcinum, a homeopatic medicine that can prevent and reduce the effects of Flu. It worked very well with me and my family.

There is no cure for a cold. Drink plenty of fluids, take paracetamol, wrap up warm and let fresh air into the room.

Whiskey, warm milk with whisky or just warm milk with honey!
They do the job killing the germs and expelling the surrounding ones. Just do it very moderately and never when about to drive!!! It can be a powerful soporific (meaning it is a good idea to drink it before going to bed). Wish you well.

Go the drugstore and get some Airborne. It cured my cold fast and drink plenty of OJ. :-)

There is no known cure for a cold, just cuddle up and keep her warm. (Thereby increasing your chances of getting a cold, but brownie points for cuddling).
