I drink ginger ale and eat soup. Just lay in bed and relax with lots of blankets. Meds always make me feel worst for some reason.
When I have a cold I drink lot's of tea and take a lot of vitamin C. Thanks for the giveaway. <3
I will stay on Nyquil every night that I am able. It really helps you get the needed sleep that allows your body to heal itself. Of course, the alcohol content probably helps as well. Thankfully, I've not had a bad cold for a couple of years.
Every time I have colds or even any one in the family has it, I let them rest the whole day and make sure that they are well hydrated. I usually rub vapor rub on their chest and cook them their favorite soup.
I mostly keep going as always and drink lots of orange juice.
I have lots of trouble with allergies. Usually for that use salt sprays for my sinuses, which works well for a cold too. Salt gargles really help with sore throats as well. I also like to make ginger tea straight from the root,it seems to help get past the cold faster and is great for an upset stomache too
I usually try to take something right away for it. Dayquil and Nightquil seem to work best for me. I hate having colds so i try t stay right on top of it. Doesn't always work though.
I drink lots of liquids. I rest as much as possible. I take some Cold Remedies like Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus and Tylenol to help with the fever.
I sometimes take something to help with a cold, mostly I just ride it out. I am sure to wash my hands a lot when I am sick and go through about a can of Lysol trying to prevent anyone else in my home from getting sick.
I take Dayquil and push through the day anyway. To sleep I take Nyquil.
I Take vitamin C & echinacea and drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.
When I have a cold, I drink lots of hot tea, steam myself over a pot of hot water, and use saline spray.
When I have a cold, I usually use a saline nasal spray, take over the counter cold medication, get lots of rest, drink lots of water, and use a humidifier at night.
I take vitamin C and drink hot tea to help. Get more sleep when I have time after work.
I get some fresh Puffs Plus with lotion. It greases up my glasses but it saves my nose. Then I just use OTC cold medicine.
It depends, if I can keep going, I do, and try to get to bed early and have lots of juice with vitamin c. If worse, I just lay low and drink juice and have foods like eggs with toast.
When my daughter starts getting a cold, I immediately buy one of the big bottles of V8 Fusion. She drinks it all within a couple of days, and the cold usually goes away by then. It's the quickest cure we've found. She likes the acai mixed berry or strawberry banana...
When I have a cold like the bad chest cold I had a couple of weeks ago, I try to drink a lot of water. I also try to rest as much as possible. It is horrible when it feels like somone is sitting onyour chest. I also don't use a lot of cold medicine because it sits on my stomach and makes me nausous.
Allergies are the pits, I hate when it changes seasons and then my nose starts running and I get headaches and just feel miserable, I hate to stay in the house, but I can tell when it is going to be windy or rainy because my nose begins to run, I like to drink water, take an occasional Caritin or Zyrtec or the like and take it easy we also love to push vitamins and zinc when feeling ucky.
When I have a cold/allergy, I load up on Vitamin C, drink lots of hot beverages, teas and broth, stay in bed and try not to infect anyone else! Oh! And lots of thorough hand washing, etc.!

I rest as much as possible and drink a lot of ice water. I'm so grateful to have a fridge with an automatic ice maker now.
I have allergies all year long, so it seems like I'm always trying to do something to push back the symptoms. Adding just a little bit of honey to tea soothes the throat. Drink lots of water!
I very, very rarely get colds, and I don't have any allergies. I can't remember the last time I've taken anything. I used to sleep off any illness I had but with little ones now that's not an option!

I drink lots of tea- some of my favorites are ginger peach and an apricot one that has extra vitamin C and echinacea. Eucalyptus oil is excellent for stuffiness and headaches- a good diffuser is worth the investment.
before and during cold season I make sure to stock up on chamomile tea, vitamin c packets, breathe oils (from doterra) and lots of tissues!
I use a combination of Excedrin Migraine and Zyrtec D, or sometimes Benadryl. I also take the longest, hottest showers possible and hold a hot wet washcloth over my face to try to open up my sinuses.
I take steaming hot showers and then slather on vapor rub. I try not to take medication, but I occasionally have to take sudafed. I like to make myself hot tea and have a couple teaspoons of honey. And I always make sure to sleep, sleep, sleep! My fiancée usually takes the kids to grandmas so I can sleep when I am sick. I do the same when he is sick.
I catch it quick. If I feel it coming on, I take echinacea vitamin and take a few pills of vitamin C. If I take nyquil, it is over quicker.
