Whats your cold remedy?

[Kanuck99]

I've got a doozy. Had what I assume was a sinus infection. I can only describe it as having really hard and crusty boogers that extended beyond my nose and into my sinus cavity. Swallowing was very uncomfortable and sleeping was disturbed. I wasn't really congested, but the boogers were solid chunks, not the usual viscous snot associated with a cold.

Now, its morphed into a more prototypical cold.

My go to "Kill it with alcohol" method is not working.

What YOU got?

 

[Higus]

There's a Jewish diner not far from where I live. When I get sick, I get a big bowl of Matzoh Ball soup (aka Jewish Penicillin) and some spicy Buffalo wings to go. Usually clears me right up.

Sleep. The more I get, the quicker I get better.

That and lots of healthy food / water.

I've been chaining colds together the last few weeks, it's fucking exhausting.

There's nothing that you can do. Just lie there and contemplate your mortality and ultimate helplessness in the irresistible jaws of nature.

Yeah these last couple weeks have been rough on me too. I think in my case it's all the pollen in the air kicking my butt.

Yeah that must be annoying as hell. A guy I sit next to at work is basically allergic to being alive. If he was an animal he'd be put down for sure.

No pollen here, but I am pretty sure I have snow mold.

What YOU got?

- vitamin D3 - no, not C
- zinc, magnesium, probiotics
- Nurofen - or Ibuprofen, I guess that's the active substance
- citrus fruits - lemons with honey, oranges, grepfruit
- hot soup or borsht or some shit similar
- garlic - it may work; if not, at least it will keep the vampires away
- cleaning your sinuses - paper, fingers, whatever you got
- tea - whatever the fuck kind of tea you have in the house
- a good shit - because why not?



Or, a more extreme approach, take 20 garlic cloves, 10 chili peppers and a big root of ginger, blend them and drink them without regrets. If it doesn't kill you, the cold will go away.

Depends on how severe it is I guess...but I usually dont take anything... its a virus process that has to run its course...thats just it.... the only thing is I take Tylenol night to sleep so I can at least have a good night sleep and dont wake up every fucking hour with symptoms but I know Im not doing absolutely anything to the sickness, Im just doing it to sleep

I can't drink water with a sore throat, I want milky drinks when I'm sick like that.

For me, all the over the counter drugs I can buy. If my sinuses are fucked then brandy in my coffee.
