Answer 1

Drink lots and lots of fluids to keep you hydrated. And start taking Airborne or ColdEeze, they make your immune system stronger and get you better fast.

Answer 2

Drink a glass of orange juice three times a day and drink water constantly. Take Tylenol or a cold tablet. If you aren't doing something important, lie down for a while and give your body rest. Eat simple foods like soup. If you have chills you can use a heating pad, or put 2 blankets in the dryer to get them hot them wrap up in them. Make sure you are wearing warm socks. If you have any vitamins at home it would be good to take 2 the first day and 1 each day after that. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Take care!

Answer 3

When an illness strikes, the immune system has a rough time.
It works the body past its maximum, making you feel down and out.
The process consumes most of the C vitamin reserves of the body, leaving you body out of resources when illness is past.
You can do nothing to get better, except gathering back all was lost during the fight.
Lemon is the best source of C vitamin, the juice of the fruit itself, not the bottled one.
Soup provides easy fats and veggies, and pasta gets quickly metabolized.
Eat, drink, and wind up slowly past the eighth day it all started.
Then you may wind up to full throttle as you regain confidence. Every body needs a time to recover fully from illness. And cheer up.

Answer 4

For your immune system - PLEASE try these 3 remedies...EVERY time I feel run-down or get that tickly feeling in my throat I take these 3 things and it NEVER turns into a full-blown cold.

1)Herb Pharm Olive Leaf Extract in tincture form:
This is the one I buy -

2) "JarrowDophilus", by "Jarrow Formulas"...it will keep the healthy "flora" in your body in perfect balance which keeps your immune system strong.

3) "Emergen-C" Vitamin C packets by "Alacer"

All three can be purchased at "Whole Foods Market", possibly "Trader Joe's", or call your local health food store to inquire about these 3 products.

EVERY friend and family member who has taken this advice, hardly ever gets sick.

For your throat: "Peaceful Mountain--Throat Rescue"
You will NEVER find a more powerful throat spray which is all-natural....soothing, fast acting, and kills bad bacteria on contact.

Cayenne Pepper in capsules (or sprinkled on soup) helps greatly with congestion AND is also an immune systen booster too....and drink lots of organic green tea to help your energy levels.

You'll see!! :) Get well soon!
