I feel like I’m ill every other week *cries*
Granted I know I definitely need to drink more water and I could probably cut out the Haribo and Parma Violets but generally I feel like I’m alright. I exercise and relatively healthy 
How can I get rid of this cold in the next 24 hours?
Also, any advice on how to boost my immune system before I actually throw myself in front of a moving lorry, I’d be grateful…  |

Doubt theres any scien e behind this, When I wanted to get rid of a cold virus I used to go to a sauna hot as I could stand and sit and sweat it out of me. Always worked for me.
Drink lots of fluids before and after

I always go for the natural herbs and spice remedies
I make a turmeric tea you can use the powder or root with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper added. Same with ginger I find it really helps  |

1.resting
2.staying hydrated
3.using a clean air humidifier

You have to immediately stop, got to bed, get up once per hour or 2 to make a pint of hot water with lemon and honey. Take 2 paracetamol every 4 hours , drink the water ,sleep graze on fresh oranges, bananas , strawberries, blueberries, drink, paracetamols, graze, sleep, drink…. 24-36 hours and you are ok to get up and just take it easy 1-2 days. It works |

Thank you everyone! Yeah I guess it was wishful thinking to “get rid of it quickly” but I did try inhaling vicks for 15 minutes and the relief, can’t believe I’ve never done that before!  |

Sleep, heat, fluids, food, and most importantly *all* of the drugs. Don't be a hero about, smash all those decongestants and flu drinks into yourself 
Twenty-four hours is wishful thinking though

I always sleep propped up on pillows when I have a cold. It might not shift it any faster but it keeps your sinuses open so you can sleep a little easier. (that's if you can sleep almost sat up) |

You need to sweat it out, so drink a potion of hot water, vinegar, honey and treacle, hot bath and off to bed with your bed socks on and two paracetamol hope you get well soon xx |

For a run of the mill cold, sweat it out, it's horrible but definitely the quickest way to shift it. I've a dose three weeks now and it's not shifting, some people on here mentioned they had a six week dose. There's a bastard dose doing the rounds at the moment. Hopefully that's not the case with you  |

Those beechams cold and flu tablets are pretty good at getting rid of the symptoms temporarily (the runny nose etc..)
Get some vitamin D supplements from a health shop. |

Google ‘hot toddies’ works every time whiskey slice lemon honey and boiling water and down it as soon as you can bear the heat of it …. On a note to bump your immune system biggest thing is vitamin D but better to take a good quality multivitamin and not one of those cheap three quid supermarket jobbies, also diet and daylight help massively |

You need to have a hot toddy. We swear by them.
Make a lemsip drink (half mug full) and mix in some honey, a little fresh orange juice and lots of whiskey. Heat it up in the microwave and drink whilst red hot. It'll make you sweat buckets but it works a treat. |

Vicks first defence nasal spray! But you need to take it at the very first signs of a cold. It'll either stop it or reduce the severity. I swear by it. Cheaper versions are available.
If it's too late for that, cold and flu capsules are pretty good with phenylephrine in them, perks you up a bit.
Get well soon x |

I'm no expert, and I appreciate research is limited, but I'm not certain that throwing yourself under a bus is proven to boost your immune system. |

Be careful… if you live in Manchester or London at the moment if you have a runny nose and are feeling worn out, there is more than a fair chance it could be omicron rather than a cold (sorry to put a damper on things… take a LFT) |

With symptoms it has to be a PCR, LFT is for those with no symptoms. |
