Answer 3

I live in the South where there is a big problem with sinuses. The "common cold" around here is usually some degree of infected sinuses. I take Claratin and Sudafed, and sometimes Tylenol Sinus.

Answer 4

Tea usually helps me with a soar throaght. Or you can buy airborn which is a tablet you put in water (hot or cold) and it boosts your metabolism to get rid of sickness and prevent it. Or take cold medicene like nyquil and dayquil (those work the best!) I DO NOT recommend bennidrill. Only take it at night b/c it makes you very very tired. And you can combine other medicenes with it. The only thing to do is treat the symptoms and wait till its gone! Did you know there are over 100,000 different kinds of colds? After you are done with a cold, you become immune to it but than another kind comes along!

Answer 8

I can tell you that I have tried every possible thing to prevent colds but my treatment is that there is no perfect cure for cold except time. If you take a medicine, your cold will go away in a week. If you dont take a medicine, your cold will go in 7 days! So time is the only thing that can heal your cold and mine too!! Sniff, sniff!
