Okay, I have the pink eye under control.
yay medicated eye drops!
The cold is okayish.
But the reason my throut is all scratchy and gross is because apperantly my tonsils are acting up?
Eek. well now i'm on medicine to make my body numb it's pretty cool actually.
But yeah life still sucks.
The colds still here.
My eyes still hurt.
My throut still kills when the medicine wears off.
Yeah districs is going to SUCK.
Thank-you for all your help.

Yes, there are some practical ways. First of all, get plenty of rest, but still stay as active as you can be. By staying active, you keep the blood pumping, and more importantly, you strengthen the immune system. I even try to exercise and lift some weights while I'm sick because this boosts the immune system. A soft diet is usually in order, and chicken noodle soup is as good as it claims to be. Drink plenty of fluids. Good fluids like water, orange juice, or gatorade. I've always taken vitamins and believe in them. A good multi with plenty of Zinc is conducive to healing and repair. Most of the over-the-counter stuff provides temporary relief and doesn't do much to make you healthy again. Most of the time you will have to go through with the motions and stages of a cold, but following the basics usually shortens the severity of my colds.

I take Zinc, tea with lemon juice and honey if I have it. Only take the Zinc when you become ill not as an everyday thing like a multi vitamin which I would also take to fill in for the vitamins I may be missing that is letting me get a cold. Occasionally I do get a cold anyway and take the Zinc and drink the tea with lemon juice and suffer through the cold for a day or two if I waited to long before starting, laugh. It is fast and I keep up the tea and Zinc for a few days so it does not return. This seems to work for me.
