If you take cold remedies, you will feel better in 7 days.

If you do nothing, you will feel better in 1 week.

true

colds are of the rhinovirus. viruses are not curable and have to run their course

treat the symptoms. drink a mixture of honey, whiskey, lemon, and percocet

Drink a few shots of tequila with lime; if your cold does not go away, you'll be so drunk you won't remember you have one....bigsmile

Now seriously, there is nothing that will cure a cold. Your best bet is rest and drink plenty of liquids. You might wanna take some advil, or excedrin, for pain, but as bad as it sounds,,,you just have to take it like a man, well "like a man is just a sayin" we know we are stonger than men..flowerforyou

Dr told me once just to let it run it's course. Look at the cold stuff you take it is mostly acetaminophen, so why not just take 2 Tylenol curl up with the tissues, a good book or movie. You will feel better in a few days. Sorry you are sick though.

When I was young Whiskey, honey and a dash of lemon juice all together. But The Tequila shots sound like a better deal.

I don't take medicine to stop symptoms and for a cold, usually just drink a lot of juice and sweat it out under a blanket...in the GUEST bedroom. Then go out and take a long walk in the sun.

at the onset of a cold i always take zicam and it goes away within a day. if you already have the cold zicam will shorten it's duration considerably. drinker

Percocet!? Or maybe just crush up a few Lortabs, 1G phenobarbital and drop it in a glass of Vodka. It WILL kill you, but you won't have a cold anymore.

Not a good idea to mix pain killers and alcohol..even a little. Percocet contains Oxycodone, an opium derivative and, although it's a great high, not good to mix with even a little alcohol.

illGet yourself some fresh organic ginger,garlic, goldenseal & echinacea(bulk)not in a capsule, and some cayenne pepper. Stir or blend your ingriedients in water and drink it down. It taste like heatdroolstraight frompitchforkhells gate but it will burn the cooties right out of your system in a hurry.winking

Share it with someone you adore. They can never again say that you didn't give them something, and it creates a rare bond of familiarity.

I find the best way to help a cold, is to shut yourself in the bathroom and run the shower as hot as you can. Helps break up all the mucus.
