Quickest way
Can anyone tell me the quickest way to get rid of the common cold? I have itchy watery eyes (my kids think I'm crying), runny nose that won't stop, coughing, stopped up nose (doesn't make sense that's it's running too), headache, etc. Help me please. I am currently taking dayquil during the day and nyquil at night along with cough drops and some zycam. Nothing seems to be helping at all. I have been taking these meds for 6 days now. Thanks in advance.
Answer:By now your body is exhausted. Drink plenty of water. Eat light foods that are easy to digest, like fruits, vegetables. Stay away from meats. Do you know what algea is? Get some from the health food store or get someone to buy it for you. Algea has protein in it. You need protein to make the T cells that fight off colds. Real chicken soup is easy to digest, get some. Decongestants will help you breath so you can sleep at night, sudafed works. Sleep is the best healer, get lots of it. Warm baths or showers will help you sweat it out. Change the bed sheets daily, your getting rid of the toxins through your skin. You don't want to sleep on them. If you know how to meditate, spend the day doing it.
You may have allergies. If it doesn't start to subside after a couple more days you should see a doctor.
By the time you feel the cold, it's too late, not much will help as your recovery time is most likly already set.
