˹AS˼ 3,610 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 So my whole family has been getting sick from co-workers and themselves and I was the only one that was left. I had a minor runny nose here and there but nothing to be alarmed of. But today..............I woke up with a stuffed nose and couldn't breathe, RIP My Health I need you guys to tell me what are good remedies to either PREVENT or MINIMIZE cold symptoms. And plz, don't tell me about the Emergen C or those other Vitamin C tablets/water mixers. Those DON'T work. It's all marketing people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NELLO-HOPE 1,565 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 My nose is always stuffed or runny, is there supposed to be a problem? You need to get your sinuses checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenRule 741 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I was going to say Emergen-C Seriously whenever I feel a cold coming on, I drink an Emergen-C in the morning and suck a few Coldeze (cold lozenges, they're full of Zinc) and it really, truly staves off a cold. Otherwise, drink a glass of water every half hour. Yes, you will have to pee pretty much constantly. It flushes out the system - the cold will be gone in 2-3 days.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm trying to wean off actual medicine since I'm not that sick yet.

If I find out you work for Emergen-C, Imma kill you. Otherwise, thanks lots of water and tea and honey and garlic which ever you prefer I've heard about this. I'll try it!

noon 20,968 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 eat spices (wasabi or habenero peppers). the will make your nose run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberDuckyTai 2,731 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Saline drops or spray for your nose several times a day, that clears most of the problems (stuffy nose, sore throat if you have it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikky 1,520 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Lemsip, idk if its available in your country. Vicks, apply it around your nose and chest area before going to bed. Get rid all that junk in your nose instead of sniffing it back up. I had a horrible cold/blocked nose for 3 weeks last month. Lost my sense of smell for while T.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COSMIC GIRL 319 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I usually take Claritin in the morning as a decongestant. It works pretty well! But for a quicker remedy, I'd say put some honey in your tea. That usually helps me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiaraewiwiarae 6,637 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We have a saying: If you treat the cold, you'll get better in 7 days. If you don't treat the cold, you'll get better in 7 days. Sea water spray several times a day to wash out the nose. Applying a heating balm/ointment on nose, neck, chest, feet. Hot drink: a handful of cranberry (use a blender) + some ginger + some honey + hot water. Cranberry is very good for detox (I don't believe in actual detox, but it helps kidneys to work better or something). Works way better than tea for me.

ClevelandKpopFan 45 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sleep is the best remedy. Soup, tea, food is all good but basically a cold is fought off with sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
