Best Way To Get Rid Of A Cold?

[Jimlad]

Ok.. I've had a cold/flu, whatever for a few days now and I'm feeling like pap. Any ideas how I can get rid of it fast ?

[TheNissanMan]

grated ginseng root, place about an inch in the bottom of a pint glass, poor boiling water in it and wait for the root to settle on the bottom and drink it, refill (with same root) repeatedly throughout the day, works wonders....

best bet is to go see a chinese herbalist, I used to have colds for weeks at a time, last few lasted no more than 48 hours :)

Vmail - might be summer cold,funnily enought these are common due to the temp change etc

6 - 8 Paracetomol/Asprin taken with half a bottle of neat whisky (scotch - like bells). Put electric blanket on full with all the douvet's & blankets you can find. Get into a trackie and sleep it off/sweat it out for 12 - 24 hours.

When you wake up you won't even have a hangover thanks to the tablets

PS: Don't blame me if you overdose and die :P :D

alternative to this route would be simply to chop your head off, guarenteed to get rid of your symptoms immediately.

Please Note side effects can be very nasty for this though...

lol ?... what ?

It's the closest place near me.

Not hey fever.. don't think. I have had it once when I was a kid and it was really bad. Since then I havn't. Think it's just a summer cold as stupid as that sounds.

As for sweating to death in bed... that's what I do to get rid of hangover. Goto bed dressed, fall asleep and sweat like a bugger. You feel fine when you wake up!

I was sweating like a trooper last night in bed.. woke up thirsty as hell !

jim do any of those burds work as a nurse?

[Yarisboy]

get lifting them weights you girl :P that'll soon sort you out

Honestly though jim, lots of water - like 5 litres a day, water takes the toxins out of your body, and the toxins are the reason you feel so terrible.

otherwise, take ryan's advice and go to the herbalist - you'll be suprised.

dont send us all ya virus ..............go hibernate with a copy of FHM or ya favoured read (dare I guess) and stop whining..... :D :P

[TOYMOTA]

Garlic & Parsley tablets!!!! From Boots and such like!

They work a treat. They cleared my cold up in 2 days, and they don't make you smell like a Frenchman!!!

You need some fresh Air, being indoors only helps breed new germs/bacteria as they love still hot air.

how about a dip in the cold sea and blast them out

[Scottish_SR]

Go out and have some exercise, Ive got the cold just now too and just been out for a run, ok it was :censor: hard cos not done it in ages but worth it in the end. Drink plenty of water too as Yarisboy said!!

I find by eating spicy food and drinking fissy drink my nose gets clear in no time, especially this time of year when the hayfever kicks in.
