Answer 2

Rub plenty of vitamin E cream around your nose area.I don't know if invite brand is available in your area,but it is a good high strength vitamin E cream,only available from chemists.As for the runny nose get a bowl of boiling water add some vicks chest rub,place your head over the bowl enclosing yourself with a towel & inhale.This will do the trick.

Answer 3

Here are 2 very good fixer uppers for a cold

1#Brew a cup of very strong black tea add one tablespoon honey and one tablespoon cognac , one quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and one teaspoon of butter. Drink this right before you go to bed. When you get up in the morning your cold should be gone. This remedy will cause you to sweat everything out. You can use rum instead of the cognac but add one lemon to the mix.

#2 Pop some garlic tablets or try to eat as much raw garlic as you can

To clear out chest congestion heat up a cup of white wine and inhale the vapors golden seal tea is good too for the sniffles. Tea made from ginger root  will help break up mucous and reduce fever and boost your immune system. For your nose rub some vaseline on it so it wont get cracked. If you follow the above you will definitly be back to normal by the weekend.
