I feel yacky!! Runny nose, sore throat, head ache!! Shall I go to work tomorrow or stay under the duvet?

Answers:
There is no way to get rid of it, however there are a lot of good ways of helping it clear up that little bit faster, or at very least make you feel better;

-Drink lots of water.
-Drinking hot ginger tea.
-Drinking hot cinnamon tea.
-Increase in vitamin C.
-Lots of rest – avoid work.
-Keep warm and take warm baths.
-Breathing in steam with eucalyptus.
-Keep hands clean – use antibacterial gel.
-Spray your home with disinfectant.
-Take Echinacea daily until the cold is gone.
-Eat more garlic or use garlic tablets.
-Take olive leaf extract capsules.
-Avoid raw sugar, wheat and dairy.
-Eat more spicy foods.
-Take zinc to help your immune system.

Stay home don't get anyone else sick!
definitely under the duvet, hot lemon, water bottle and loads of drinks.
Stay under the duvet, drink lots of hot water with honey and lemon, and take Vitamin C tablets.
go to bed and sweat it out
Lemsip, just good old lemsip.
Sorry once you get a cold there isn't really a cure for it as its caused by a virus and like all viruses it has to run its course. You could take some lemsip, paracetamol and lozenges to try and make you feel better. I think you would be better to stay at home until you feel better as you will most likely just pass the cold onto your workmates. Hope you feel better soon. : )
Duvet's the best place for you hon. Try Beechams All-in-One, soup and lots of liquids. A bit of a mummy answer but the right one none the less
yes, nutiferon from shaklee
if your interested go to shaklee.net or shaklee.com
that stuff really works for me
eat loads of kiwis and drink hot ribena and stay under the duvet tomorrow
1000mg of vitamin C WITH Rose hips.Echinacea,Green Tea.Ginsing.Zinc.Buy Cold eze nose spray.Run a humidifier with Eucalyptus oils in it.


That will be $100. We will see you at work tomorrow.
Stay home and drink as many fluids as you can, especially warm ones like soup.

Everyone says chicken noodle soup is the best, but I prefer Won Ton soup from my favorite chinese delivery!
Honest to goodness take some Zicam. It tastes horrible but it actually decreases the severity of your cold symptoms. Hope you feel better soon!
rest
this wrx everytime- oil of oregano, or oregano tea
Sweat

Sauna or Steam room if you have access. I uese a facial steamer whenever I'm getting a cold
Plenty of fluids and rest, if you feel that bad.

As far as medication. No one you do not know should give you advice on that.

I can tell you that even though you might not be able to taste as well you need to eat normally. Soups are full of sodium and will dehydrate you even worse than the cold is already. I never new that until my doctor told me. Go figure! Usually chicken soup is the first thing you reach for!
boil lime juice,honey ginger, let it cool down and enjoy

tequila shots too
Yes, go to a health food store and purchase echinecea tincture. Take the dosage on the bottle every three hours until you have finished the bottle. (This means waking up during the night to take it). This can usually knock a cold out of your system by stimulating your immune system if you start taking it at the first symptoms. Any herbalist can confirm this.
Haha.as soon as you feel a cold coming on, take some Airborne, or the equivalent. And, I think you should take a day off! Enjoy your day under the duvet.
Stay home and try to get someone to make you a pot of homemade chicken soup. It really does makes you feel better. If I lived close, I'd bring some over to you. Hope you feel better soon.
rub garlic on the soles of your feer and on your throat at the first sign of a sore throat...i didnt have any and mine is sore .

whiskey, hot water honey and lemon are much more fun.

stay at home and keep it to your self :-)
lots and lots of vit C - oranges are good for this.
Zinc is really good if you feel the onset of a cold. Also, vitamine E is you already have one. Wow, or is it the other way around? Either way they both work.
Make yourself some hot lemon,take a couple of Paracetamol,go
to bed and stay there until you are better !
My Gran used to say that a cold lasted about 10 days, about 3 days to come, 3 days to have it and 3 or 4 days for it to get better. All you can do it take things to ease the symptoms and once it has gone, take a garlic and parsley capsule once every day and you will never get another cold.
Chicken soup will make you feel better! stay at home tomorrow. curled up on the couch with a good dvd, and some hot chocolate! hope your better soon!
keep warm
Oh dear Poor you !

My granny used to give me Brandy mixed with honey and lemon slighty heated up.

I still do it today. The brandy kills bacteria and germs, acid in lemon has similar effect. dunno about honey, was porbs to make it taste yummy. Don't go to work tommorow, sweat it out under yer duvet tmrw but keep fluids next to yer bed so you don't dehydrate.

take it easy!
dring some hot lemon tea. put a cough drop it. if u smoke, don't smoke anything. do that everyday and then take some sinues cold medicine. keep the tea in your diet. ya'll see it works.
