Nothing beats good old chicken noodle soup. There are no curative powers in mom's soup - or Campbell's, either - but the warm broth will feel good on your throat, and the liquid will help keep you hydrated.

Keep warm. Battling a cold gives you the perfect opportunity to snuggle beneath a down comforter in your soft, fuzzy pajamas. Dig out your Christmas socks and hide bed-hair under a woolly hat. It won't cure your cold, but don't you feel better just thinking about it?

Soak on it. Take a long, steamy bath. Add some lavender or eucalyptus to the water to help open those stuffy, tortured nasal passages. When you get out of the tub, wrap up in a warm robe and relax for an hour or so.

Breathe easy. If the congestion settles in your chest, try rubbing a menthol salve on your chest and breathe deep the fumes. Nasal strips may also help ease congestion.

When all else fails, have a shot. Grandma always recommended a hot toddy for battling a cold into submission. Brew up your favorite tea, add some honey and lemon, and a little bit of the stuff that made Granddad happy. Other recipes call for a teaspoon of honey, a shot of lemon, a jigger of whiskey and a teacup of hot water; or an ice-cold glass of vodka with two teaspoons of black pepper; four ounces of honey, four tablespoons of lemon juice and a shot of Wild Turkey - or, for the underage and nondrinkers, try a cup of tea or hot water with honey and lemon.

What I take to PREVENT getting colds is
Vitamin C, at least 500Mg a day.
Wash hand frequently. Drink plenty of fluids.
Get some rest. If you want to sweat out the cold make a ginger root tea.
