Answer 1

boil water

add lemons, dissolve 3 cough drops, a little bit of chopped onion (or ginger if u prefer that), lots of honey, and a tea bag (chamomile)!!!

my grandmother taught me it and it really works!

Answer 2

sweat it out, lots n lots of water, green vegetables and fruits for essential vitamins. Also, coat your fruits with a layer of salt before eating them..Avoid chicken, cold/soft drinks, fried foods, chilli...

Try to get home made Heinz tomato soup! otherwise drink honey water!

These works better than pills, medicines..

Answer 3

As soon as you feel any symtoms, go buy some ColdEase There are other brands too. It lessons the symtoms so you get over the cold faster. It works for me.Go get some right now you'llbe fine by Friday, Have fun in the big apple!

Answer 4

Drink lots of water, sleep it off, take a hot shower before you do and wear something warm on your head like a toque or a cat.

Answer 5

Try good old fashioned Vitamin C. Take up to 1500 units a day for three days and I can guarantee you will feel much better. I only buy the Natures Made Brand, it seems to work the best.

Answer 6

just wear a coat and get under thick sheets and sweat for a whole night

Answer 7

Just keep wrapped up nice and warm. You could try zicam or vick's first defense [do you have that in the US?].

I find the worst thing about colds is the blocked sinuses but there are tons of things to help keep them clear. My personal favourite is birds eye chillis but you could just try menthol balm and all those other remedies.

When I went to NY last summer it was really really hot and humid, which is perfect for getting over a cold.

Hope I helped!

Answer 8

oil of oregano works wonders!  You can buy it in the liquid or capsule.

Answer 9

If you get a cold either way take medicine or don't it will last a week.
