Colds

[horrible]

What do you do when you have a cold?


Two things I do are drink lemon/honey tea and start a fire. The fire is more psychological...as I only feel comfortable near a log fire, not so much because of the 'fire' but more because of the smoke...nothing I love more than the smoke. However, since I get sick so often I can't start fires all the time...so all I really have is the tea :uhhh

I eat something incredibly spicy. I do that when I'm not sick also... Hot and Sour soup usually gives me the quick fix when I have a cold though.

Chicken noodle soup, is like the cure to everything.

Then basically plenty of rest in a warm bed to sweat out any problem.

Drink hot Ribena. Cos it's so awesome when it's hot.
Have a Lemsip, here and there...

Watch daytime Tv...Talkshows. Mainly Jeremy Kyle.
Since it came out...I've always played Super Mario 64 DS on sick days. I also watch Mulan whenever I'm sick.

A sick day doesn't feel right without a Disney movie.

Depends, I have various remedies and herbalist methods...
For sore throats - I mix honey and lime, I swallow pickled ginger...
The best is Whiskey Sour - I love the drink in general..., make sure not to over do it, and drink plenty of water as well...

For stuffy nose, I boil salt water - but herbal and such remedies aren't as good as theraflu...

For the rest, I have various things I use - ranging from asparagus, willow, pickled ginger, ( I also use some stuff from bars - like margarita salt and cranberry juice to deal with dehydration and head aches...)

I sit back and i do nothing all day, typical of sick days. If i ever get sick that is.

Then what?
Squeegee up the nose.

Y'all need to be careful that you don't associate too many pleasant activities with sickness, or your body will want the sickness more than it should.

*nods* thats the problem I had before, when I got sick I used to just pill-pop my way through it. Among other things that I did with the extra free time I had, pill-popping was probably the worst, since I don't sleep well a pill that lets me get a solid night's sleep is a godbless...so I started getting sick more and more often and the more pills I took the worse it got >_<

As for the salt water up the nose, thats the 3rd 'formula' that I know of, along with: lemon water and salt/baking soda. But its kinda difficult to get anything up there if its plugged up. Decongestant home remedies are always welcome, its the biggest problem I've got. I don't really care about a headache, soreness, or fevers -ironically I actually kinda enjoy them. If not for the congestion I'd get colds on purpose >_>
