Has anybody got any good remedies for when you have a cold?
I decided to go out on Saturday night without a jacket and now I'm paying the price for it.
Normally I try sweating it out (sleep in a hoody for example), but this isn't really working this time round.
Any suggestions are welcome as my nose stings like hell!

Brandy.
Repeat until feeling better.
pseudoephedrine

Paracetamol & Ibuprofen for the headaches etc and plenty Vitamin C so fresh Orange juice usually does it for me
Second recommendation for fresh orange juice, I always increase Vitamin C intake when sick.
For a cold I also have lots of Ginger + Lemon tea from Twinings, helps re-leave some of the symptoms I get like nasal congestion. I have recently been taking some pseudoephedrine when I have a cold, improved my recovery time so I'd recommend getting some.
I normally do a combination of the above;
As Ferral suggests; Paracetamol & Ibuprofen for the headache, effervescent Vit C. tablets
As you suggest, sweat it out; I go to the gym in a hoody and joggers, crank up the heating and hit the treadmill, just make sure your taking on plenty of fluids.
Punnet of blueberries in a bit of yoghurt every morning until the symptoms go away. Widely belived to be a superfood. Works for me anyway, and even if they're not, they taste good!
I'm pretty sure I have a bottle of Brandy lurking somewhere in the house!
Never actually heard of pseudoephedrine before, but I'll look in to it when I'm home ^^
I tried some medicine called Kilkof yesterday for the first time. I must say, it wasn't a pleasant experience! It was like a super-strength Covonia and really thick and gloopy. It was that strong I thought it stained the spoon!

If you can make it down to the shops, get a bag of apples and oranges and have two of each a day. I find pizza to carb me out can work well too and sit in the sun if possible!
Chilli and Garlic, a tomato base curry as hot as you can manage is good for clearing sinuses, garlic is better than vitamin c at helping to reduce the duration of a cold
That's quite weird as I was contemplating going for an Indian with my girlfriend later!Originally Posted by finlay666

Second the ginger, garlic and spicing up the food. Those work best for me.
