You really should stay home and keep the germs away from others. But, keep warm , drink plenty of fluids, paracetomol tabs are good and not harmful, a really good cough medicine is available from your local chemist(each chemist makes its own)its called Sennega of Ammonia, tastes awful , but VERY effective with coughs, and cheap to buy and contains no sugar.Vicks Vapour Rub is good just to smell it clears your nasal passages, or Eucalyptus oil will do the same thing. Try not to do anything too active, rest is best!! . Get well soon.!

If you leave a cold alone, you will suffer for a week. If you treat it, you will be over it in seven days. More seriously, I have access to morphine sulfate. When I get a cold, I take 2 milligrams every four to five hours (a tiny dose). This is a double whammy: not only does it take care of the sore throat, but it also dries up the dripping infected mucus that causes the sore throat. Result: a cold is not much of a bother.

the best thing i have found is "zicam" the one that you squirt up your nose. it is a gel and you squirt a bit of it up your nose (not deep into your nose but just inside) then you hold your nose together for 30 seconds. then you have to wait a minute before blowing your nose. do this three to four times a day and your cold will go away like that. but immediately your nose will clear up. also take some dayquil for the throat and carry along some cough drops. good luck! and next time you feel a cold coming on, use zicam immediately, it can keep you from getting a cold, it works for me every time!!

There is no cure for the cold, only relief. Drink plenty of fluids and rest. Throat lozenges help along with a vaporizer if you have one. Sudafed works with the nasal congestion also.

I like Tylenol Cold or Tylenol Sinus myself. Just about the next best thing to a cure.

There's no cure just drink alot and alot of water.Even when it hurts to swallow.thats going to help flush out the germs in your systemTake an extra shower or two. its helps lower your body temperature. take some pain killers and keep cough drops on hand.

There is really no cure for a cold because it is a virus. I would recommend robitussium or nighquil and dayquil.
