I rarely get colds/ sick, but when I do, i try to get as much rest as possible. It helps me feel better the following day.

THIS cold virus going around is a whopper-doozie!!
I don't get colds very often, when I do I may have symptoms for a day or two. THIS one has a couple of icky throat days, then the sinuses clog, it zaps all your energy, your head hurts, ears plug, cough isn't productive, some have teeth hurting or jaws, some end up with ear infections, some have had bronc. infections, some have been fighting it for 2 or 3 weeks!! I came down with it Sunday. I drugged myself to keep still & went to bed. Didn't help. I still came down with it. Orange juice. Teas. Haven't cut it. Cold medicines seem to work once, then nothing. Prescription drugs for decongesting the same, work once. My head hurts. My back hurts from being inactive. My sinuses hurt. My ears hurt. A tooth hurts. My jaw is swollen. Yesterday I though "OK, all this babying isn't doing it....I"ll sweat it out!". I got on the treadmill...... I had forgotten to change shoes. Now I have 2 raw heels!! Blisters! I think this week should be deleted. It's been icky!!!   *sniff* *cough* *sniff*

Each cold you get is different. The symptoms are similar, but it's never exactly the same each time... Some things I tried that works pretty well are dressing warmly (warm enough to sweat a little) and minimize any exposure to cold air. Try to keep shower time to a minimum and take cold medicine to fight the symptoms. Get plenty of rest. Using these methods, I get 80% better after a day or two. Hope that helps!
I don't really believe in taking vitamins, but it could help, too.

No meds for me. All they do is suppress the symptoms. The last thing I want to do is screw with my immune system.
