normal cold 'remedies' dont make your recovery any more productive. they just delay it. you have to get all the bad stuff out of your body naturally.  Get lots of rest, take vitamin c, echinecia, and zinc to keep your immune system stong, drink lots of water and blow your nose often to flush the cold out, and if you have a sore throat drink tea with honey in it to soothe it

Plenty of water, and vitamin C. If this don't help much, you can also rub vicks vapor rub on your chest at night, it will open your sinuses. Also, Tylenol cold and flu makes you feel much better if you have to resort to OTC medications.

Chicken soup is one of the best home remedies, it helps hydrate you and helps make your nose run thus getting rid of some congestion.\nOtherwise you can eat and drink anything you want just make sure you get extra fluids so you are really well hydrated.  This helps to thin out the congestion so you can get it out of your sinuses/nose and if it is in your chest it lets you cough it up and get rid of it as well.\nYou don't, repeat DON'T need an antibiotic for a cold so please don't go to your DR and yell and scream until he gives you one. Save them for when you really neet them and they'll work better.

It's that time of year!!  Yeah, it sucks, but that's how it goes....  I'm in the midwest, and the pollen counts this year just until now are almost to what they were over the better part of the entire allergy season last year... SO, for those of us with allergies, it's a little rough.  Depending on your body, there are plenty of good allergy meds out there to take.  You can take an OTC antihistamine, or get something like Claritin for antihistamine.  There are some steroid nasal sprays that work well without drying out your sinuses/eyes, too (Nasonex for example), or there are some newer drugs out that block leukotrienes that aren't as widely prescribed as the aforementioned two types.  Take something, get plenty of kleenex, maybe some visine if you have itchy eyes...  Good luck!  :)

Your situation sounds like allergies.  If that is indeed what it is, you could probably get some relief with antihistamines.  See a doctor for a prescription.  If you want to try something yourself first, try Alavert over the counter.  The mucus is probably drainage from your sinuses.  That could also explain the coughing.

When to Call a Doctor - If any of the following symptoms of acute sinusitis appear: \n thick yellowish green mucus  nasal discharge \n\nAt the same time, you may try the following self-care remedies:\n\nIt's important to drink lots of water or other fluids--six to eight glasses daily--to loosen impacted mucus. Soup, - good old soul warming chicken soup - tea, or other warm liquids can be especially soothing. \n\nTo help thin mucus, heat water in a pan. Place a towel over your head, lean over the pan of hot water, and inhale the steam. Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the water will enhance this effect. \n\nApply a hot compress (a moistened warm hand towel or wash cloth) to your face. The heat "opens up" sinuses to relieve pressure. \n\nReduce or avoid drinking alcohol; it has a dehydrating effect that can make mucus dry and thick. \n\nA sinus irrigator, which you can purchase in drug stores and health-food stores, can be used to clear out sinuses with saline solution. \n\nAvoid air-borne irritants, especially secondhand smoke, that can inflame sinuses. Use an air purifier in your home, if necessary, to control irritants. If indoor air is dry, which can aggravate sinusitis, use a humidifier. \n\n Quercetin is being used widely for sinus problems. - Get a vitamin C with Quercetin - from a Health store. ( 3x/day - 500 -1000 mg )\nDo not take any chewable Vitamin C - they have extra sugar, and not good for immune system. \n\nThough there have been no major scientific studies conducted to support this theory, some experts believe spicy foods, such as horseradish, Japanese wasabi, garlic, or cayenne pepper, may help clear out congested sinuses.

I've read the answers so far, and most are either over the counter meds or old fashioned treatments.  All help to a degree.  But they are not true alternative medicine.  There are sinus washes that will flush out fungus infestations.  Also, oil of oregano capsules will help eliminate fungus, an almost always cause of sinus problems.  A very good book on healthy living in general and healing various human illnesses is:\nFoundations for Healing by Richard L. Becker, D.O. ~ Available at www.bioinnovations.net or call 1-888-442-6161.  Dr. Becker has a great one hour TV program at 12 noon central time.  Channel 321-WHT-on my DirectTV.\nOne of the most important things you can do for your health is to eliminate or cut way back on sugar because it feeds fungus and yeast in the body.\nWarm compresses, dry or moist will help ease sinus pain.  I find that when I put a piece of cloth over my eyes and forehead as I go to sleep at night it holds the warmth in and reduces cold causing pain.\nSalt water rinses are OK, but will dry out the membranes if used too often.  A drop or two of olive oil added to the rinses would ease that condition.  There are numerous remedies, but I hesitate to give them as I am not a doctor, I'm merely an avid student of alternative remedies.\nShould you wish to have more references to good books on the matter, post a note to my site (if that is possible or permissible) and I'll do my best to help.

Eat 30 to 40 raisins daily.  Honey is most beneficial in sinusitis.  take one table-spoon honey twice a day.  Inhale honey thrice a day.  Cut down on your sugar intake and start jaggery.  Inhale steam twice a day.  Avoid cold climates and air conditioners.  Wear warm cloths to protect from cold.  Drink hot soup.  Avoid ice cream, cold drinks and cold water.  Insert tooth pick into your nostrils to sneeze.  After the mucus is released from the head, you will feel better.  Correct constipation.  Now, press the finger tip and thumb of both the hands for 10 minutes twice a day on empty stomach to fight the ailment.  Pressing finger point will certainly help.  Please let me know the progress.  Good luck and best of health.

Chiropractor.  Cold compress on the neck.  Percogesic - over the counter pain med -  massage of the neck and face - glob of vicks in boiling water - turn off and place face over the hot pan with a towel covering the whole apparatus - inhale as long as you can stand it - wear an eye cover - the steam will open up the sinuses and the vicks will start bringing out any congestion that is not moving creating the headache.  Been there - sorry for the pain!

Allergies make you sneeze alot and itchy nose and throat and eyes. Your nose will run too. Similar to a cold. Sinus's you will have a thick green discharge from your nose. you can suffer with this because it can give you headaches too. The doctor will give you antibiotics to clear up the infection.Claritin is good for allergies. I have found for sinis problems nothing (over the counter) really clears it up, just relieves the symptoms for a while.

Use afrin or some other kind of nosespray. It completely clears your nose for a while and it's basically the best thing ever for a cold. Nyquil works good during the night for me when I have a cold, too.

You may want to take some extra Sudafed.  I say extra because Claritan-D already has some in it.  I talked to my doctor and he said Claritan-D is probably the best thing for me and when I have bad sinus problems I can take an extra dose of Sudafed by itself.  Good luck!

Well, there appears to be some controvery about this.  While some people swear by the stuff, others say that it has no real effect on overcoming a cold.  \nHere are some links, one of which is from a National Institute of Health study.  I hope these help you decide whether to head to the health store or not.
