I always make some ginger tea to help healing a cold or a sore throat. However if your feel you're not getting better, you should see a doctor.
Here is the recipe:
4 cups of water
2 inch piece of fresh ginger root
optional: honey and lemon
Peel the ginger root and slice it into thin slices. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it is boiling, add the ginger. Cover it and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon to taste. Keep drinking during the day.
Hope you get well soon.

I am now recovered after three days with a cold, just as nasty as I used to suffer from, but no longer ill for two weeks. Not sure if the improvement is due to regular intake of vitamins and minerals, or the chance to wrap myself up and stay out of draughts now I am no longer having to go out to work. Get someone to keep bringing you hot drinks and stay inside your comfort blanket. If no willing slave available, keep a couple of flasks by you so you don't have to get up too often. Poor you!

i had a bad sinus infection and i am just getting over it here myself, i drank alot of tea, fresh air (open windows so the bugs can get out the house) echinacea, vitamin C, chickensoup (if it don't help it at least taste good lol) fresh orange juice, don't take any milk products since that makes it worse for some reason(too difficult to explain) hot showers , steaming, poor some boiling water in a bowl with a few drops of menthol or a cough drop with menthol it will melt, put your face over it and cover with a towel so that you have to inhale the steam, it clears up your sinuses plus it will give you a nice soft skin at the same time lol
good luck with it all

The flue or cold is a disease of catching cold. I think you should keep yourself warm and take soupe daily and take rest. You should also take Joshanda, of Hamdard but do not take meds, which will prolong your flue and cold. I think you might be taking meds for this ailment. You avoid it if you want to keep you away from flue.

i had flu over christmas, its still there a little but not as bad.. you just have to let your body fight it off.. i would say a couple of weeks at least to be fully recovered.
