I need help getting rid of a cold?

Question

Please help me! I am starting school in four days, and I want to be completely well agaoin for it. I drank a glass of Airborne, and a water bottle so far. If I need to drink a lot of water how much? If I need to eat certain foods waht should I eat? Please, I really want to be well by Sunday, but I need to be well by Tuesday. Thanks!!

Answer 1

Eat any foods high in Vitamin C. Do you like spicy food? Jalepeno peppers are loaded with Vitamin C. it helps.

Answer 2

Airborne is a great start. Try drinking lots of cold water as that will help so you won't get a sore throat. Chicken soup and hot tea may help with the congestion too. If you have one, use a humidifier or vaporizer as this adds moisture to the air making your throat feel better and helping with congestion.

Supplements like C and zinc help too. These are most likely in the Airborne.

Answer 3

drink water but that doesn't mean tons just more than you usually would. airborne tends to help prevent colds although it can help get rid of them. i would try robbitussan or sudafed. eat whatever sounds good. when your sick its healthiest to eat rather than not too. so if a big steak sounds good eat it but it nothing really sounds good stick to crackers and mild things. if you don't feel any better by tuesday its probably not a cold but an infection in that case call your doctor...you'll need more than over the counter stuff at that point especially being back at school around germs..hope this helps

Answer 4

I caught a cold yesterday and am taking ZICAM. Its supposed to reduce the duration of colds. Also taking Cold-Eeze cough drops. Both of these products contain a Zinc base which may have some clinical benefit.

Answer 5

Vitamin C, chicken broth/soup, decongestants, white or green herbal tea. And LOTS of rest!!
Best of luck. . .
