Get peppermint tea and some fresh ginger.  Brew tea with slice of fresh ginger.  This will help settle your stomach, small and large intestine.  Once you are thru the nausea then hit the chicken soup made with plenty of veggies.  This is the easiest digested and vitamin packed food when dealing with illness.

i have had similar problem....if you can keep up drinking and eating you should be fine, if continues through tomorrow though, take a run into the doc or walk in clinic just to be sure as it could be flu. hope you feel better...mine lasted for 3 days. hope this may be of some help or comfort to you!!

Try salt water gargling or steam inhalations. Avoid icecreams and other cold stuff. Hot soups definately do alleviate the cold. If too bad try an anti-histamine tablet. It helps.

Get a shot of whisky(any kind), put about 2 tablespoons of honey in it, about a teaspoon or two of lemon juice, mix it up and heat in microwave, about 15 seconds to warm then drink.  This mixture is good also if you have the flu or a  cold.

Start taking a zinc supplement as soon as you realize you are getting a cold.  Drink lots of water and juice with vitamin c.  If you are congested, you can take decongestants in the form of cold pills and drink warm liquids like chicken broth to help break up the mucus.  Make sure you are washing your hands often (20 seconds of lathering and rinse under warm water) and after you blow your nose or cough - if you are constantly blowing you can use some Purell to sanitize your hands, but you should still wash them with good old soap and warm water before you touch your face/eyes/mouth or eat.  Get plenty of rest.  Once you are better, continue to wash your hands often -as this is the best defense against getting sick.  I hope you feel better soon.

Drinking fluids helps to replenish water you've lost through vomiting, sneezing, coughing, sweating, and other symptoms. The fastest way to recovery is to get plenty of rest, as the flu will fatigue you because your body uses all available energy to combat the viral infection. You may have loss of appetite, but force yourself to eat something so that you won't fatigue even more. Take some Vitamin C and Zinc to help boost your immune system so that you don't get sick again afterwards.

Basically, you need a time machine because really the only thing to get rid of a cold is time...it has to run its course and that is 3-7 days usually.  But you can treat the symptoms and NyQuil is pretty good at knocking you out so you feel better, get some sleep (which you need) and soon it will be tomorrow and you will probably feel better.  Tylenol is also good for fever and nice long baths feel good and they have stuff to put in your bath or shower to relieve cold symptoms.  Plus get lots of fluids (especially water) Get well soon!

Take plenty of vitamin C - orange juice, oranges, bell pepper\n\nChicken soup.\n\nGet as much rest as possible.\n\nBe careful about going to the doctor and getting antibiotics. this just decreases your resistance for the next time you get a cold.

Start taking Zinc.  Clinically proven to help prevent and shorten colds.

OTC drugs are the best for treating cold and cough. If you are on medication for nausea, u could as well take drugs for cold.

another old wives tale resurfaces.\n\nFact is both are viral infections and are best dealt with by lots of bed rest, keeping really warm (yep the "sweat it out" thing does help a lot) and drink lots of fluids.  Whether you eat or not is more to do with your degree of nausea at the time.  However, for any illness (other than digestive tract ones) you do need to keep up your strength to fight it off so eating is always good if you can keep it down.\n\nAlso, while modern medicine has not come up with a cure for the common cold or the flu, there are some natural remedies that might help you. One of course is vitamins in proper doses in case you are not getting lots via  food. Another one I discovered was garlic and cayenne capsules which might help boost your immune system and raise body temperature. And if all else fails, there  is always chicken noodle soup; and grandma was right - it does make you feel better.

Nyquil is not meant to give you a nice buzz and should only be taken if you are sick.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better!
