Answer 1

Oh dear.

Colds are one of those things that have to run their course. But there are things you can do to lessen the symptoms.

Use zinc lozenges to help your throat.
Use steam to help with your head and nose.
Drink hot lemon and honey, or hot beef bouillon: The salt and honey will also help with your throat, the steam will help your head, and the vitamin C in the lemon will help your immune system.
Take garlic tablets and extra vitamin C.

You might not feel up to playing in 2 hours, but you should be less miserable.

Good luck!

Hi, been there done that. This is what I do, it may not make you feel better in 2 hrs. but it works...I put some Neosporin or any triple antibiotic cream on a q-tip and swab the inside of each nostril. Do this like 3 times in 1 day, more the next if needed. Sounds crazy, I know! But it works. Good Luck!!

I have a cold too, I am drinking lots of orange juice, about a big glass every other hour. Sucking on some cough drops in between those times. And occasionally puting a SUDA-FED PE strip on my tounge, they clear sinuses almost instantly.

I also recommend getting a nice warm shower, so it can open up your sinus areas and your pores.

Answer 4

really there is no "CURE" for the common cold but i find the best way to get over them quick is to get plenty of rest take some day or night quil and rest and enjoy being off ur feet and hot soup helps me but that may be preference ...good luck feel better!
