    Default Quick Cold Remedies?

    Okay I have a huge problem here..
    Im supposed to leave tomorrow on the bus to go home for xmas.. its a 20 hour bus ride. BUT I have the worse cold!
    My ears are sore, my throat hurts, my lungs are just brutal and my nose is so stuffy I cant breath. Plus I have a fever and im dizzy.
    I need this to go away quick... like within the next 24 hours. There is no way in hell I can take the bus like this. Any suggestions? I just need it to die down enough that im ok to sit on the bus that long...
    Thanks guys

    I hear you--I am the same way. But start taking it today according to the instructions on the bottle, and keep taking it. It is a great product, and will make the nastiness go away, restore your energy. You don't want to be sick over Christmas! Good luck!

    Eccinacea (spelling?) is supposed to work well-my dad swears by it. But it might be more to prevent a cold than to get rid of it, I'm not sure exactly. You might want to check on it though.

    Cold-eeze and Airborne, both available at better supermarkets and drugstores.

    Madison I swear by that stuff as well... I take it daily to help my poor imune system and it does work wonders but I still always get hit with one bad cold a year and a couple of battles with broncitis. You can take it daily or you can take it when you have a hint of a cold coming on... guess it didnt love me this time

    Tylenol makes a cold/flu medice that is a blue liquid. IT WORKS!! It doesn't taste bad, either.

    If you can't find anything else, try this.

    I have it too, Cally. It sucks!! Right now I'm at work trying to be productive and my eyes are watering so badly I can hardly see. Nothing's working. I'm going to see if I can find some of that Cold-FX stuff tonight.

    *walks in thread..puts anti cold outfit on*

    Orange juice helps me alot but only at the beginning signs of a cold. Or take some vitamin C throat drops. Tea with honey and lemon. I dont get sick that often though.

    Buckleys...it is so good for colds....take tylenol for your fever,drink lots of fluid,keep warm,get lots of rest....gargle warm water and salt for your throat.....get some Vicks for your sore chest. if you have a humidifier put that on to!!! If not take a warm bath and steam up the bathroom to loosen anything in your chest...

    Think about something extremely depressing and cry your eyes out about it.It will flush out the germs and make you feel better.I am dead serious.

    My bf just bought a bottle of Buckleys today. He's had a cough. That stuff smells like peroxide! But...it appears to be working.

    Eat a whole raw clove of garlic, a couple of oranges or kiwis, and drink a can or so a chicken broth.(or chicken noodle soup).

    Also get vick's vapo rub, and eat a tiny dab of it.

    Or just call your Dr. for a Z-pac, lol.

    Raw garlic. It's a natural antibiotic.

    Z-pac isn't going to do jackshit for the common cold, its just going to cost money, upset your stomach, and cause potential problems for future viral attacks.

    We have a hot drink mix here called Lemsip. It's a lemon/paracetamol type mix you can buy from the supermarket. I buy a box and drink it all in a few hours and it SMASHES any cold that dares enter my temple! hahahaha. (That's wank speak for body of course!)

    Hot tea with cinnamon if you're nauseaous.

    Vitamin C. But in really high doses. I take like 10-15 500ml pills/day during my colds and they last 2-3 days tops.
