Honey+Tumeric.

If at all possible, spend some time outside in the sunshine. I swear it helps alleviate my symptoms. If you can’t do that, hot showers & green tea.

It's been raining for days here. πŸ˜”

u/bedbugsandballyhoo Jun 15 '19

Aw. At least the rain makes sleeping easier lol.

Cold & flu capsules, orange juice, and loads of water.

u/Shitpost4lyfes Jun 15 '19

Suck it up, you pansy. It's worked so far, I still haven't died of the flu

u/Ivotedforher Jun 15 '19

Cold not flu. I'm probably gonna miss a pals wedding today because of the hacking. Guess I will catch his next one.

u/littleirishmaid Jun 15 '19

Sudafed or a similar over the counter type antihistamine really helps stop the coughing.

Maths

u/Ivotedforher Jun 15 '19

Like I can think right now. πŸ˜€

Orange juice, nyquil, and Netflix.

u/Shelbz Jun 15 '19

Zicam seems to shorten it a bit

u/xReyjinx Jun 15 '19

Time and patience. It’s a minor annoyance not a debilitating disease.

u/Ivotedforher Jun 15 '19

Are you sure? This feels like the end...

u/justavoyeur Jun 15 '19

This for sure! Also sleeping 12+ hours a day makes me feel less tired and more productive if I have to work. And it makes time go by faster too.

Two paracetamol swallowed with water followed by the juice of one whole medium lemon and a couple of big dollops of honey, sprinkle of sugar (to taste) all in a steaming mug of hot water. bed down with some hot layering. Should be good and ready to face the world in 12 to 18 hours.

D3, day/NyQuil, load up on the allergy meds

u/Iezahn Jun 15 '19

STRONG ginger tea with honey and maybe some brandy. That stuff will nuke your sore throat.

I usually have berenbrug it's a Frisian drink that has a lot of herbs and spices oh and lot's of alcohol of course. So there's bound to be a spice or herb in it that will cure you. But have to drink until drunk and the hangover the next day will make you forget you where having a common cold.
