Is there any way to knock out a cold before it hits hardcore

Question

I can feel it coming on. the fatigue, mild sore throat, stuffy nose... I need to blast this bad boy! busy week.

Answer 1

Best thing to do, double up on vitamin C supplements, get pleanty of rest.  Eating chicken soup helps because the steam and temperature of the soup will warm the palate and help clear sinuses.  

An odd but family remedy my grandma uses is put Vics vaporub on the soles of your feet and wear socks to bed.  She claims that it will help "sweat" out the cold.  After all the feet are like the bodys pressure points.

Answer 2

Get plenty of rest, if you can. You could try something like Zicam, which is supposed to help shorten the duration of a cold. You can buy it over the counter, but it does tend to be a little pricey.  

Answer 3

You've probably heard this before but it works.  Get all the rest you can, stay hydrated and warm, even chicken soup!
