The vicks thing is good and have done that many times.
Hot lemonade add half a lemon or orange 2 teaspoons of honey, sip that to relieve throat probs, then take 2 paracetamols.
Or just go to bed and complain a lot so everyone within a 5 mile radius knows you have a cold and are feeling terrible, which is what I do! |

2 Paracetamol every 4 hours during the day (no more than 8 in 24hrs) Sudafed from behind the counter (they are stronger) not the ones you can pick up from in the shop. One will ease the aches and pains and the other will help unblock your nose. Then plenty of any of the other remedies suggested......vicks vapour rub....hot toddy...... etc  |

Zinc and Vitamin C intake, as well as Paracetamol. Be incredibily careful with Paracetamol, as it's in lots of cold products, and can cause liver damage in excess/even death long after overdose.
Steaming is great, and can use salt hot water mouthwashes for sore throats.
The Zinc remedy has some evidence for efficacy I believe. |
