I've got the sneezing, runny nose, ridiculous sinus pressure, the whole deal. I can't be 100% sure, but I think I picked it up from my visiting nephew (damn kids) or perhaps on a recent business trip to Detroit. Regardless, some exotic disease has me me completely incapacitated. What do you guys do when you get this sick? I'm on a steady stream of Cold Eeze and Sprite, but it's not doing a damn thing. I'm open to suggestions! sniff sniff Thanks!

This is where Nyquil can come in handy since it makes you drowsy and reduces your fever. As for daytime cold remedies, I find medication to be hit and miss, so I simply take an Advil Cold & Flu and drink lots of water and tea. It doesn't cure it right away, but it at least makes it more tolerable. Feel better soon

On the cold note, there is no such thing as a cure for the common cold. There are "cures" for some symptoms that just come back once you wake up. And yeah....Herpes. If you want something to stick around for a while, get that.

If you keep at it for 10/15 minutes you should feel the benefits at least a bit. Works more than cough bottles and all that for me Edit: Just realised the post date, you probably won't need to do that now haha Edited by Kobrakai, Mar 1 2012, 10:54 PM.
