how to cure a cold?
 

does anyone have any good methods for combating or curing a cold?

Cures depend on how strong your immune system is,i suppose.It changes from person to person.

It's a fucking virus.

You can't cure it.

Don't smoke as much. Drink orange juice. Take dayquil and nyquil.

Don't bother with Sudafed, it's a waste of time

Don't bother with Night Nurse, it'll make you drowsy all the next day.

Day Nurse helped alleviate the symptoms. So did a mix of honey, lemon juice and hot water (with whisky added at night time).

i'm not taking any drugs for it, i want some half-baked/esoteric/home remedy/traditional folklore/urban myth type *cures*

Spiders down the underwear, eating stinging nettles, that kind of thing?

yes, any sort of thing that isn't about taking medicine because that stuff is all a con


cures involving alcohol are ideal (noted your whiskey one)

Lit candles around your bed.

there is no way
just ride it out

It helps to have a hot shower twice a day, drink lemon tea/soup, and fall asleep on the couch with the tv on.

take some coke, eat a slice of lemon and walk to the shops. you will forget all about it in no time.

coke would be ineffective, it would just get caught up in all the snot up my nose

Hush up Tokolosh,where did you get that from?

get someone to blow it up yr ass then? eat it? rub it into yr gums?

What is it pork?

Inject your eye pupils with it.

Hush up hush up HUSH UP!!

Are you talking to me?

Sleep. And skip school. Thats what I'm doing right now. Not the sleeping part.

hardcore porn and vitamin c

Four soothing pints of Heineken.

vitamins
sleep

You cure a cold by getting the flu.

I agree, I prefer to suck it up than to take medicine for my colds.

I saw this commercial on TV the other day telling people not to take as much cold medicine because viruses are becoming immune haha.

oh my god, toilette you're going to die!! DON'T DIE ON ME!!!!

The best thing to do is keep yourself very warm all the time. Seriously.
When you get a fever, it's your body trying to "burn off" the virus. Almost like sterilization with boiling water.
Go to bed with socks, mits and a tuque on (or a warm hat, that is). Let the "burning sensation" be a good feeling.

by the way, there is no cure for the common cold, twat.

Lemon and ginger in hot water. Works a treat.

Defeatist.

i'm sorry. i'll try harder next time, just for you.

I kill you now!
This is even worse (and more mystifying) than the times I have been compared to Rod Stewart or Simon LeBon!

psycho killerrrrrrr

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa faaaaaa

I was thinking Simon Le Bon, but I didn't like to say. But now you've said it...

I hate you all.

well at least rod stewart & simon le bon are compartively normal looking people in comparison to thom yorke who people frequently say i look like, and he looks like a spastic

Bizarre.You don't look anything like Thom Yorke.Glasses?

You don't have the weird Yorke eye thing though.
I have also always found Rod Stewart to be particularly unattractive, even in his younger days.
I don't think you look like Thom Yorke much at all aside from very general things like a thin frame and angular features.

kurt cobain was offered a part in pulp fiction you know.

I bought the nme yesterday.It's there.

Wiiiiiiitch.....burn the witch!!!
