    Sad My cold just won't go away :(

    So after going back to work last week, I woke up Sunday with a bad cold. I immediately started taking vitamin C and zicam, which typically gets rid of my colds pretty quick. Not this one. It's gotten progressively worse. My sniffles turned into nasty stuffy nose, turned into cough, turned into me having no voice. I went to walgreens on my way home from work this morning and got some airborne, and have been taking zicam and sudafed as well.

    I had to call off work tonight, which sucks cuz it'll be a good night. I really wanna go back to work Saturday, anyone have any other miracle cures to get rid of my cold quick?

    Steam for the stuffiness. Stay hydrated. And keep up with the Airborne (I think you're supposed to take it every 4-6 hours).

    If it keeps getting worse, you should go to the doctor. In the meantime. breathe steam, and go to the health food store and buy raw. unprocessed, unpasturized honey and some lemons. Put 1 Tbsp of that honey into a glass. squeeze 1 lemon into the glass and add hot water (do NOT microwave). Mix well and enjoy. Raw honey contains natural antibiotic and antibacterial properties that will help kill off any infection you could be getting. The lemons are loaded with vitamin C and the hot water will help soothe a raw throat.

    But like I said before...if it does not start clearing up soon...or gets worse, go to the doc. Hope you feel better soon!!

    Thanks Venus! I'm willing to try anything at this point. I was hoping someone had some homeopathic remedies, typically I get advice from my grandma who has a health food store...but I can't talk, hence I can't call her lol. I'm gonna give it the weekend to see how I feel, and if I still feel crappy Monday I'm going to our local instacare. Blah.
