Today I started to feel like I am getting a cold. I have a tickle in my throat which is causing me to cough and my throat is a little sore. I cannot get sick cause I have a huge audition in two days..Any advice on how to get better? I just took some tylenol cold and sinus night time to see if that helps. Any advice is greatly appreciated...

Try echinacea and some of those over-the-counter cold remedies, like Zycam, I think that's what its called.

Three recommendations. First, Vitamin C. Lots and lots of vitamin C. It won't eliminate your cold, but it will push that cold through all its stages in record time. You'll have to remember to drink water with it - take a glass of water every time you have some Vitamin C. I do about 1,000 mg every hour all day. It really really does work and my doctor has approved it. I've asked before.
Second, Zicam, too, seems to help.
Third, Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus or whatever it's called, really helps.
Do all three of these and you will knock everyone else out the door for your audition. I'll cross my fingers for you.

Be there for her and try and get her to talk to her parents... By her talking to them gives her more options on wether or not she wants to keep it or even adoption she has more options now than she will later. Her parents will find out eventually just make sure it's not to late. And be a good friend and try and help/guide her to make the choices she wants and not what anyone "wants" her to do because she am has to deal with it later on in life no matter what she decides... And like the girl before said her parents will grow to the idea and yes there's a chance they'll loose it but the won't hurt her or the baby. So encourage her to make her decisions that will benefit her in the end.

I'll tell what is AWESOME. Take Zicam. You can buy it at any store. Zicam has twice the ingredients as Sudafed. And it works. Don't worry. I'm not promoting OTC drug usage or dependencies. You're getting sick anyways. You're just taking twice as many ingredients. It's safe. If it wasn't safe to take twice the ingredients, the FDA would have banned it a long time ago.

Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

Get you some "white lightning" lol, just kidding, But I do hear that a hot tottie is pretty good at stearing off a sore throat. Good luck on your audition.

U should try zicam it breaks the cold as soon as it starts and then u should take vitamin c and by that u can drink lots of orange juice. I start my morning off w/a cup of orange juice every day.

Take some Vitamin C. It helps to ward off colds and coughs. It really works.

Every time I feel like I'm getting sick I take an Allerest. It's has helped me many times. It also knocks you out so you get a great night sleep... which is one of your best weapons. Good Luck

Get Zicam nasal spray or some zinc lozenges and suck on those. Start taking a good mulitvitamin and antioxidant supplement so you build up your immune system so you don't get sick much any more.
