Drink plenty of fluids, make sure you're flushing it out of your system, blow your nose when you need to and throw a few extra blankets on top of your bed. Go to the gym and sweat it out

Throw the occasional wank in there and you'll be right as rain

You can't rush a cold you need to give your body time to heal plenty of rest lots of fluids and light excersice.

Take every tip that people suggest and do all of them. Twice. Then again.

None of it will work, but it will make you feel like you're doing something.

Now, something will be the last thing you do before you happen to start feeling better. This will now and forever become your miracle cure that you tell everyone about. You'll even be able to come up with plausible reasons why it worked.

So, my miracle cure based on the above methodology is spicy Thai broth made with loads of fresh herbs, chilli, garlic and ginger/galangal.

It's a miracle cure (not just because it happened to be what I had just before I got better) because of all the vitamins and antiviral properties

somewhere in the sticks

Two tbs of Apple Cider Vinegar + 1 tbs of Manuka Honey (25+) & fresh lemon juice mixed in a cup of hot water 3 times a day…it works for me but it doesn't taste nice!!

ps. you can also add echinacea + 1/2 an aspirin which eases the symptoms

What works for me most of the time, as long as you do it at the very first signs of symptoms, is to gargle with dilute TCP.

Tastes foul (so have some water handy), but practically every time I do it at first symptoms, it seems to kill it off before it develops

ok .... myddygon myddfai (physicians of myddfai) recipe from 11th century

clove of garlic

1cm cube of ginger

teaspoon of black pepper corns

3 or 4 cloves

crush them all up with a pestle and mortar (or crush them with a rolling pin or similar)

add some honey (as much as you want) and the juice of a lemon and some grated lemon rind

infuse with boiling water for 5 minutes stirring well

then knock the whole thing back in one including the bits in the bottom

it'll taste odd so if you can't handle it hold your nose while you drink it and it won't be so bad.

the pepper corns are important because they dry up your sinuses and prevent mucus, phlegm etc.

the rest of the ingredients are pretty much bog standard remedies that need no explaination.

the mixture is greater than the sum of it's parts and it works really well.

you can supplement with some ibuprofen to prevent the aches

good luck man

I use the cold capsules to shut down all the symptoms, sometimes it seems to really knock the whole thing on it's head.

Just before you go to bed. A tot of brandy in a cup of hot milk. I'm not sure it does anything for the cold, but it knocks you out so you sleep. My grandmother swore by it!

hiding from cock pics.

A friend of mine swears by fenugreek Spice. In a curry, or in a cup of tea and although it doesn't taste or feel very nice (in tea), he swears by it and it makes him feel better.

If you've got a meet tomorrow it's pretty much guaranteed you'll pass on your cold to your playmate. Do them a favour and reschedule.

Let's not call it flu, when it's clearly not.

Wash your hands regularly(i mean alot more than a few times a day)or better still carry a little alcohol steriliser bottle round with you, try not to rub your eyes or stick your finger up your nose?.

You'll be surprised how many colds you'll avoid having in the first place

Sudafed is good for clearing sinuses and getting rid of the pressure in your head. Paracetamol for aches,tissues for the snot and eat normally so you can fight it.

Zinc and rest.

Take symptom relief treatments according to needs - decongestion, pain etc.

Menthol, eucalyptus, saline drips etc may all mean that no medication is needed.

For congestion I'd probably use a saline drip and menthol plus eucalyptus steam inhalation.

Ibuprofen for easing of swelling and pain.

Zinc as it may help you recover - probably better in the earliest stages to shorten the duration.

And rest.
