Hello Everyone,
I have a cold that just won't go away and I'm too impatient to take a day off and rest. Does anyone have some revolutionary (but safe) remedies for me to get better? I HATE getting sick!
~Nicky :yack
 
Honey rhum and lemon

It's called a grog, it's very effective for sore throat and general happiness. Just heat some honey, add some brown rhum and lemon and drink.

Seriously, rent a couple of movie, take it easy and wait for the cold to pass, have everyone around serving you like a queen because "you are sick". You have to appreciate life little pleasure.:D
 
1-)Peppermint tea with lemon and honey in it.
2-)Jack Daniels with salt in it.Don't worry if it doesn't heal your throat, you will not feel the pain after a bottle.:D :D :friday

You could try various remedies like garlic or gingseng. Unfortunately the common cold is one of the most resistant of bugs.

I find curling up in bed for a day works wonders! If that isn't an option just wear warm clothes. Also change tissues often otherwise you breathe in the germs your body has expelled by sneezing or coughing the next time you wipe your nose.

btw Dont drink and dive! So ignore the alcoholics around here. Their suggestions is just the drink talking.:D ;)

Good idea man ! ! !........:D :D

My momy also advice same:naughty :naughty
 
1. Take whatever time off you can and bundle up.
2. Knock back some zinc tablets
3. Finish with some vitamin C- laden juice, Odwalla C Monster works.
4. Turn on some mindless TV and snooze.

and no, I can't make a house call. ;) but thanks for asking.:cool:

There are very interesting remedies and recipees.I can advice nicely to you that there is a wide accepted rule; if you got some drogs for the therapy of influenza(getting cold) you will get better in 7 days,if you dont take the advice and drugs youll get better in a week!!!!!:t
 
Vodka and NeoCitran. worked in College :p

I'm a big fan of the Vit C till you turn orange.


And we're not Alcoholics! they go to meetings! we're just drunks!

Willer

1oz Dark Run
1oz Lemon juice

Well thanks for that drunks - oops I mean guys.....sorry about that slight slip of the tounge.
I beat the cold with plenty of rest and drugs - the legal kind that is ;) . The honey worked wonders on my sore throat. Yeah I would have tried the grog and all but couldn't seeing AS I'M ONLY 16. Thanks anyway.
All better now
Nicky:cool:
 
uhhm Nicky?
I can't help but note that youre from Coffs. I have some friends from there and find it hard to believe age could be a barrier to becoming a hardcore booze hound...:D

Summer's nearly here so don't go getting sick again!
 
Sshhhhh! I just don't like rum!
Are your friends spearos or divers - or niether? I may know them, what are their names (if thats ok for you to name them on the net).
 
They are all my age (24) but you may know the families: They are all BHP cadets like me, Nicole Grant, Derek Powell and Clinton Wilson. They finished highschool in 95..

Its a bit like when people say "So youre German eh? Do you know *random name*, they live in Germany too..."
And I reply "Oh yes of course, I only moved away 14 years ago but I remember them..."
:)
 
Nah don't know them....maybe I'll meet them when I'm 18 and can go out. Can't wait.:D
