How can i get rid of a cold? i want to go out tomorrow night and i feel like crap anybody got any remedies?

Answer 1

REAL lemon juice - squeezed into cup - two Tbls Honey - topped up with boiling water - drink as hot as you can - take two Paracetamol tablets. Repeat EVERY 4 HOURS. When you go to bed - final honey and lemon drink with last 2 paracetamol - finish off with tot of REAL NAVY RUM. Dive under duvet - pile as much warm blankets or covers on you as possible - DO NOT THROW OFF if feeling too warm - that is the whole purpose - to make you perspire - will sweat cold out of you overnight. Tomorrow morning either very hot shower or very warm bath - again to make you perspire - if cold still there tomorrow - repeat with Honey, lemon and paracetamol for remainder of day. Be careful if going out tomorrow night - paracetamol and alcohol NOT a good mix.

Answer 2

The fastest way to get rid of cold is take 25 black pepper seeds and just crack them ( do not powder) pour these content on to a small vessel and pour 50 ml of water (you can add one pinch of turmeric powder also to reduce the burning ) and boil it till the contents become 35 ml approximately. Filter this decotion while hot into a cup and let it cool. Once this is cold you gulp all the contents directly into throat ( because the tongue and mouth may burn) and drink it. That is all for the first few minutes you will go around the world three or four times and also sneeze and cough a bit after that your cold vanishes just like that. You can drink this two times a day until the cold goes away, but normally once dosage itself cures the cold. Note do not add sugar or salt to the decotion because its effect would be lost. All the best.

Unfortunately, a cold has to run its course. You can possibly shorten it some by taking plenty of vitamin C and echinacea--but not soon enough to be rid of it by tomorrow night! So my recommendation would be that you also get over to the local pharmacy and buy some cold pills to help relieve the symptoms.

Answer 4

It won't get rid of your cold but if you add lemon, honey and chilli (fresh or powdered, but fresh is best) - I kid you not - to a mug of hot water it will relieve the symptoms for hours. Of course you may need to put some bog rolls in the freezer for the next day

Answer 5

if you plan on having a drink then avoid medication containing paracetomol (dangerous combination) or aspirin (likely to cause stomach problems)
There isn't a cure but drinking plenty of liquids (non-alcoholic) especially those containing vitamin C may help.
Eating garlic or drinking herbal teas and echinacea all help too.
If you feel congested try a hot steamy shower or even holding your head over a dish of freshly boiled water with a towel over you. (My asthmatic daughter does it) It can contain obas oil or menthol crystals but its the steam itself that helps clear the chest!

Answer 6

Go to the pharmacy and get Benylin Day and night tabs, you'll feel a new person tomorrow, they are brilliant!!
Cured me from the same last week.

Answer 7

Drink lots of water and fruit juices =) Avoid drinking cold beverages

Answer 8

Cologne is a very nice city in Germany which makes a pleasant smelling aftershave splash on. How ironic.

Answer 10

I'm in the same position! I've been drinking loads of lucozade & taking neurofen plus, steaming my head with menthol crystals in hot water & generally keeping warm. Hopefully it will clear.....
