Knock yourself out with Benadryl or store-brand equivalent. Nothing helps sickness better than rest, and if you're running around all day, it'll take longer to recover. Trust me, I take only one day off when I'm sick to sleep most of the day, and I'm better the next morning! But if you take the Benadryl, it'll stop the nose issues as well as the headache and since your nose won't be runny, your cough will diminish because your throat won't be as aggravated by muscus. Good luck!

If you're just comming down with it, take a day off and go home. Get some rest,drink plenty of fluids.You are most contagious at this time.If not, take a daytime cold remedy,drink lots of fluids,wash hands frequently so not to spread germs to co-workers.Take Vitamin C, it will help to overcome the cold much faster.

If you want to become sick, you are already sick.  See a therapist.

Hiya . First of all you need to consume less calories than you burn off . Try eating a diet that has a low carbohydrate intake and eliminate sugary things etc , comsume carbs only for breakfast and lunch and they are to be of complex carbs not crap like sweet stuff . Stick to a higher protein intake so eat stuff like Tuna , protein shakes , salmon , lean chicken and salads and fresh steamed vegys for carbs just basicly healthy stuff and not too kmuch food .\n\nSecond exercise lets say 30 mins - 45 mins of cycling or running a day but be sure to push your self because its likley you will stop loosing weight if your not excercising hard enougth . So pump up the intensity. \n\nImportant points are .\n\n1. Be consistant without it you will never get results because it can take 3 weeks before a diet / excercise program starts to work propley so dont budge .\n\n2 .Dont miss rums / excercise even if your sick go for a refreshing walk and make sure you dont slip on the diet . \n\nI hope this helps

Modify your routine, switch dietary habits, multivitamins, lots of liquids pretty and let it run its course.  You really can't speed up its course.  You can prevent it with healthy diet, and avoidance of those with teh fever.\n\n\n....And stay away from china town. sorry couldn't help it.

Stay in bed, drink juice and water, and take medicine.  You should get better after that but, if you don't just stay in bed and get lots of sleep.

It is funny that nobody thinks about the obvious. To keep from getting sick just keep yourself healthy. Eat healthy foods, exercise regularly. Shower daily and wash your hands often. That is all it takes. Of course nothing is 100% so if you start to feel sick take Zicam as soon as possible and you will feel better in no time. Good Luck!

Boil a big pot of water and stick your head in the rising steam for a while.  Get somebody to get you some Mucinex and some VapoRub from a pharmacy.  Rub the Vaporub on your chest, microwave a dry handtowel for a few seconds and place in on the area where you put the rub.  Get some sleep and get yourself better.

First of all, if you are now on antibiotics, it is GOOD you are coughing up that goop.  That is the germs (bacteria) that is making you sick and what you are doing is called "Expectorating".. forcibly removing by coughing icky stuff like germs.\n\nIf you get a sore throat, you CAN take meds to reduce the coughing and sooth the throat, but the sooner it is out of your body the faster you will recover.\n\nDrink plenty of water, give yourself as much rest as you can get, eat fruits/veggies and protein (good for you foods) and take it easy.\n\nI hope you feel better soon.

Well there isn't a whole lot you can do but there are a few things that can help you recover.\n\nDrink lots of orange juice/anything with vitamin c in it. Vitamin C is essential to your immune system and will help it work properly. Eating healthy foods will also just keep your body healthy and running properly. When your body is running properly it can work better and that includes fighting off nasty colds.\n\nOn that note, get lots of liquids. This includes water especially; it's another one of those things necessary for your body running properly.\n\nGet plenty of rest. Once again you need this so that your body can fight the cold.\n\nAlso, treat the symptoms. There are plenty of medications out there to treat cold symptoms. You can't cure a cold with medication but at least you can make yourself feel better!

That's the right way to go.  And I don't know if that's supposed to help you get better, but that's how I feel whenever Iget one.  If I have a fever I have NO apetite, or if I have a cold I'm starving all day and I want to eat eat eat.

I just got over a really bad sore throat this past weekend. This is what you do:\n1) Drink lots of cool water.\n2) Eat lots of popsicles to soothe the extreme pain of swallowing.\n3) Get lots of rest.\n\nMy doctor told me (over the phone) my sore throat, hoarse voice, and fever was due to a virus and not a bacteria. Therefore, antibiotics would be no use. He went on to say that the body is very good at fighting viral infections if the body has what it needs to do the job. What it needs are lots of fluids and rest. It worked for me. I got sick last Friday and was able to go to work on Monday. This sore throat was the worst one I've had in my life.\n\nGo luck.

Theraflu.  Pour it into a cup of water and heat in the microwave for a minute.  Nice hot drink with all sorts of drugs.  Makes you forget you're sick!
