How Do You Cope With Colds?

Fluids and hot showers alway seem to help. Also as r0bErT4u mentioned above Zinc is a big help as well.

1. Rest
2. Liquids
3. Cold remedies to help you function
4. Take it easy
5. Easily digestible foods like Imei's ginger chicken soup
6. Neti pot to clean out your nose
7. Bad television (to put you to sleep quickly)
8. Hot bath or shower (sauna works well to sweat it out)
9. Ibuprofen for body aches
10. A good friend to fetch you kleenex and say, "Poor baby" every so often (hey, it works for me).

Zinc for Colds: Lozenges & Nasal Sprays One recent study looked at using zinc not only as a cold treatment, but also as a preventive when taken daily. In other studies, researchers found no differences in cold symptoms between those who took zinc and those who took a placebo or sugar pill.

Noodles anybody?

1- Stay away from any over the counter drugs and cold medicines and avoid sugar.

I decided not to get them to begin with!

Honestly, drug up on aspirin/Tylenol. I would recommend this method to dealing with colds to anyone :P Also, suck on lotts of cough drops. Preferably good tasting ones, it actually helps, and it helps you mentally by THINKING that it's helping in some way! haha
