I'm not extreamly sick, but I can definitely feel a cold coming on in my chest and throat. I'm going on vacation in two days and I don't want to be coughing the whole time. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do to get rid of this quickly??

Drink lots of Orange Juice and take a vitamin supplimant that is high in Iron. Plus you have to will your way out of it. Think positive thoughts.

As "colds" are viral, you can't take anything to cure them, only treat the symptoms. Some people find homeopathic remedies help reduce the length or severity of a cold. Two things that I have tried that seem to help are Zicam Cold Remedy (I prefer the nose swabs) - http://www.zicam.com/Product.aspx?eid=1&catid=1, and Airborne - http://www.airbornehealth.com/products_original.php. Otherwise, just try to rest and eat well in the next few days and take OTC cold medications (decongestants, cough suppressants, etc.) for any true symptoms you experience.

Well, most people think I'm crazy, but take half of a lemon and squeeze it into a coffee cup. Then add hot water and enough honey to give it good flavor. (Probably at least 2 teaspoons). I don't know what it is about the combo, but it works for me every time!

Drink lots of water do no longer sleep with the air conditioning on. a solid element that could help is to sweat it out. cover your self with a thick cover/blanket and sweat. do no longer take off the covers just to get some chilly air in any different case it won't artwork. basically stay under them and sweat. verify you wipe your sweat however or have a towel in the back of your back and neck. Yeah it relatively is incredibly it. =] wish it enables. =D
