Hi Bob....Colds are awful but I rarely get one....keep warm, rest, drink plenty of liquids. It'll be over soon!       :)

Ged well sood! :)

Sorry to hear you're ill Bob. I've been under the weather also. I have the same symptoms as you. But mines will get better then come back. Like now my throat is dry and scratchy. What I do for a cold is :

1. Eat homemade chicken noodle soup

2. Drink plenty of orange juice

3. I tried over the counter medicines and it didn't help. The only medicine that helps me with coughs and congestions is Father John mixed with Cod Liver Oil.

4. My cold keeps coming back because the kids in the house keep giving it back to me. Try to stay away from people with colds. 

Last  month I went to the hospital for a minor out patient procedure. That night I had the worst cold ever. I wonder if I picked up a virus from there?

Sorry to hear you are crook, plenty of vitamin c will help a lot and Dimflam Lozengers if you can get them, get well soon MsBOB.

Me I have had one for about 7 to 10 days use that mucus breakup stuff at my sisters everyone come with down with it take some vitamin c pills

I'm soooo sorry you are sick. Stay away from your mom. Keep your hands washed, drink whiskey and sleep. If your nose gets conjested, rub your index finger against your thumb-acupressure-will make your sinuses drain. Keep warm, drink juice and lots of water. Keep "thinking" it away. You're in my prayers......

The "bug" that is around our area is dreadful this season.  It lays you up for a good two weeks.  My wife has been sick since Thanksgiving day.  Congestion, and drained, she hasn't felt this bad from a cold for eons!  It has gone through the family, and seems to make rounds for repeats of us..  Trying to get rest at this time of year is tough, with all going on this holiday season.  My wife insists on being the "super mom" and that is her biggest problem!  If she takes a nap, I never wake her when she asks me to, as she really needs rest.  Fluids and Rest, and slow down, thats what I tell her!

The only non-prescription medication that works for me in NyQuil. If you don't need to leave the house for work, stick with the night time version only.

Don Cherry has told you what to use, digger. Cold FX!

There is probably a cough syrup you can use to treat your cough. From my point of view: I haven't got cold in the last 6 years. Maybe it is because I run regularly 2-3 times a week. I advise you to exercise when you get better. It works for me.
I hope you'll get better soon!

"Tis the season"...plenty of fluids and rest......Soon enough you'll be back to yourself...

Tough it out Bob.Next week it will be all over.(Hopefully). Get some rest.

"WELL. Don`t "blame me Bob ( cough splutter ) "OH I suppose "germs can travel ! Get on your feet soon wish you a speedy recovery "Sneeze " "O sorry about that get well soon girl

By all means get one of those mouth and nose masks. I suggested that my doctor give them out to anyone who was coughing. She is doing it.

Take good care so it doesn’t get worse. 

Well i guess it is that time of year for you people.We have just started our summer in Australia.Our past winter here was terrible with flu, colds, viruses and a lot of people were admitted to hospitals with Pneumonia.As long as there is no infection, there isn't much you can do. Take paracetemol , keep warm, bed rest, plenty of fluids.Have you tried Echinacea ? Available from the pharmacy, they help eliviate the symptoms.Hope you feel better soon.

I had one recently but I was the 3rd of our gang to get it so I started zinc lozenges & that helped.  If I had a hot toddy with tea in the evening I slept better and didn't wake up horse.  But, I did spend a few nights coughing my self to sleep.  I sneezed alot too.  Cough drops & ibuprofen help too.  I'm not a huge water drinker but I did try to keep hydrated.  PLEASE GET WELL SOON!!!!

Chicken soup, a/k/a "Jewish penicillin". Spicy food helps me too.Hope you feel better!

I get one a year...usually end of October-

the beginning of November, then I'm good

for the rest of the winter. I just mainly ignore 

it because there's not much you can do. 

The minute I waste money on a bottle of

cough syrup, it goes away and then the bottle

expires for the next session. 

I caught a cold about 2 months ago, it won't go away-- I'm passed the worst of it but my voice is still gravely

I can hear it...annoying.
