Remedies, no, but you can do things to relieve the symptoms until it's over. Warm chicken soup, plenty of fluids, rest, keep warm, Tylenol for aches and pains, eye drops for eyes, antihistimine for the runny nose, throat drops, peppermint or butterscotch for the dry sore throat.

Answer 2

This works and I even use it on my 3 year old
Mince a half of garlic clove up and put it on a teasoon, then drizzle honey over it, and swallow it doen like a syurup, folled by a large glass of water do this every 4 hours but no more then 5x a day, try to get as much rest as possible, take a steamy shower to thin the mucus, and relieve mucel tension, and use a cool mist humitfier at night, it sounds like a lot but I promise, 2 days from now, youll be well on your way to forgetting about your cold at all.

Answer 6

Listen to your grandparents.........if they've ever told you. Soup, and vitamin C tend to help out. The common cold is a virus, and antibiotics don't work on viruses, but only bacteria. So you're going to have to let it run its course. Best of luck to you, hope you feel better soon.
