Rest in bed, if possible, and drink orange juice. Keep warm, curl up in your favorite chair in front of the TV, or with a good book, and just let yourself snooze if you like. Have a nice warm bath whenever you feel like it. Medicine? I don't usually rely on any, but I would never advise any one else to go without it if they need it.

warm water with honey and lemon - it is natural and feels great. It also works. Tea with honey and lemon would also do the trick.

I know how you're feeling - three a levels left!  All I can say is wash everything - bedlinen, clothes, hair - that's where pollen can always get stuck.  My anti-histamines aren't very effective, either.  I am living indoors the whole time at the moment!

I tried ZINC. (Coldeeze [sp?] was the specific product);  The cold and all it's symptoms were gone in seconds, like magic. \nThen, a few hours later, I drank some orange juice, and the cold came back.  I was tired, my sinesses (sp, again) began to fill up... I had to go back to bed.\nMore ZINC, gone again.  Maybe I just got lucky.\nBigBadJohnny

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!

Take it easy today.. Drink a LOT of liquids.  I would suggest tea with honey.  Green tea is the best if you feel like you are getting sick.  if your sinuses are acting up sit in the shower so that the steam can losen it up (nasty I know but it works)  Stay warm, keep covered up and drink lots.  \n\nHope you feel better.

There are many different things you can do to ease the cold. Try drinking lots of Tea for example some ginger root tea. To make this you will want to boil about 4 cups of water. Get a 2" chunk of ginger and peal off the peal. chop it up into small slivers and put it in the boiling water. you will want to then turn down the heat and put a lid on the pan and then let it simmer for 10 to 15 min. Its recommended to not use sweetener, but i know for me i have to have a little bit of honey.\n\nNext a lot of people swear by garlic. I know... ewe... but it does have a lot of healing properties. Some say you should make a tea with it, but i say that is gross, so just take one clove of garlic, peal off the husk, and cut it in to small chunks, DO NOT CHEW! this will lead to bad breath. just swallow the garlic with water like tacking a pill.\n\nMy last recommendation is sweet lemon tea. My mom used to make this for me all the time when i was little and sick. She would boil some water put it in a glass with a whole lemon and some honey to sweeten it. I always felt better after drinking that tea. and it still works to this day, even though i have to make it my self now.

Big sympathy - so horrible to feel like this - hope it was a good night and worth it though!\n\nChuck on a tracksuit and a baseball cap and get yourself a couple of bottles of sparkling mineral water, some soluble Berocca, some food (like pie and chips!) the Sunday papers and some Haribo Star Mix.\n\nDrink all the water with a couple of Berocca tablets (it's a super ace multi-vitamin effort that works wonders) eat your high calorie food and then collapse with the papers and your Haribo on the sofa in front of some suitably terrible TV - I tend to find Hollyoaks works wonders.\n\nThen get yourself down to the pub early evening and have a couple of halves of lager and lime. \n\nHope you're feeling better soon :-)
