What is the best medicine for a horrible cold??
Question: I have a cough thats keeepin me up at night, my nose is raw from blowing it. I've taken ny quil, thera flu , airborn, and now cough syrup with codeine, anything left?
Answers: Drink hot tea with honey and lemon juice. It will help soothe your throat, and the heat will break up the mucous. Then blow your nose with lotion tissues. Hot soup will help too. Actually, any hot liquids you like.
A hot bath or shower will also help. So will a personal steam sauna, or a cool mist vaporizer.
The best medicine I know of for a cold is regular Sudafed. Now that it's been taken off the shelves, you have to ask for it, and maybe sign for it, but at least it's not by prescription. The new Sudafed formula, the one you find on the shelves, that one does nothing for me.
I use Zicam swabs (not the spray!) at the first sign of a cold, and they really do help. Avoid sick people, if you can. Use hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water. Cough into your sleeve instead of your hand, to avoid spreading the germs to other people when you touch stuff.
The more of those ideas you try, the better, but none will cure your cold. They will just help you feel better while you get over it.
If you are looking for long term solution.........try herbal medications....
organic honey, org lemon, and ginger tea. Real hot and breath it in and sip on it. Onion tea works wonders as well. Take organic or natural onions and boil them in water. use the onion water for your tea, use honey to sweaten it, a tablespoon at least of organic or natural lemon. Try no to eat a lot of junk food when your sick. no meat (the steroids and junk in it) and no high frutos corn syrup(which is in a lot of foods and is awful for you). Good luck
slowly sipping a hot drink made of cayenne & lemon juice steeped for 20-30 minutes in boiling water
after slowly chewing a mixture of raw garlic and ginger (minced), onion (chopped finely) and honey
then a strong cup of thyme tea with a drop of honey (covered & steeped for 30 minutes)
this should knock the crap out of the strongst of colds
rest well, eat little, many wild animals fast when they are sick, they close their eyes & wait it out
Cough is caused by a number of ailments.
It can be treated by over the counter medicines
or home remedies. More information available
at http://ailments.in/cough.html
1 tbsp honey
3/4 glass tea
2 shots brandy
1 slice lemon
Brew tea and fill a tall glass 3/4 full. Mix in honey. Mix in brandy shots. Add lemon slice and enjoy.
Rub some Vick's under your nose and chest and take a Benadryl. Guarantee it works.
You may want to try taking probiotics which you can get in the refrigerator section in a health food store. When bacteria in the body becomes somewhat negative ( we have 3.5 lbs in our colon ) then the outcome is colds, flu's, viral type symptoms etc. Probiotics, which are positive bacteria boost the immune system, among onther things, which would help restore your health. Colds are really not a bad thing. Sometimes taking stuff like Nyquil etc. keeps your body from discharging and eliminating toxins and negative bacteria out of the body.
Oil of oregano................and let it run its course. Boost your immunity with antioxidants when you're not sick..
Know how that feels. Your immune system is down. I always cure my flu the natural way by boosting my immune system with these things:
Get echinacea and take some every 2 hours following the directions on the bottle. Then you need to take about 3000 grams vitamin C for few days. Not later than 2 pm. It will keep you awake at night.
Make a mega veggie soup with lentils, your favorite veggies and tones of garlic and onions. For the cough drink Thyme tea as much as you can (1 tsp for one cup water). It will help with your cough. Horseradish is also excellent for congestion.
Hi princess! What works wonders for me and my family is wrapping up warm and having a cup of hot cider with cinnamon, lemon and some sugar. Drink it, and you'll sweat big time. Especially good before you go to bed. You'll feel lots better the next morning, after a good night's sleep! Best of luck! Gini ;-)

Oh, poor you.
If it was an allergic reaction, I wonder if anti-hystamine might help?
But I don't know, hon, and I think really you should ring either a doctor or a nutritionist and get advice
