What to do...?
  • Is there anythoing that can be done for a hrad cold that does not involve taking meds...? And I would like things tou can find in a regular store like wal- mart please....
  • Some form of vitamin C, hot tea w/ honey - or even better a hot totty. 
  • I take Nyquil at night, so I sleep good and that helps.  I also POUND the vit. C as soon as I feel it coming on and then for a few days after.  The neti-pot works GREAT (but gross) at flushing out a stuffed nose.  Good steam to lose the head and chest works great.  I also take tylenol to help with the aches and pains.
    REST, REST, REST, REST, REST and fluids to help flush your system.  Soups, teas etc are good to help keep things lose and moving and blow your nose as much as you can to get the junk out.
  • massive vitamin C works for me, I start taking a lot at first sign of cold.
  • I react badly to decongestants and antihistimines so have to tough it out but things that do help-saline to help clear your nose, breathing steam, hot soup, pineapple (has a chemical in it that thins secretions) and SLEEP ':)'  Goodluck to you.
