Beating the common cold: Any tips?

[bkzkurse]

Any1 have any good tips to beat it?

Besides of course plenty of rest and fluids.

I heard raw garlic works?

blow your nose till u can't and drink hot tea.

 

[acidicality]

-drink hot tea
-get elderberry/zinc tablets or some form of that-it helps boost your immune system
-drink plenty of water
-no food w/ cheese (it causes more mucus/phlegm i believe...)
-no cold drinks.

but really the best thing is to just let ur immune system fight it off....

you really can't take any meds to speed up your recovery.
you can only alleviate your symptoms

thermaflu always does the trick for me

I could really use some tips too. I'm losing a lot of sleep over a sore throat and a stuffy nose.
