[QUOTE="Star*, post: 397367, member: 4964"] I know this sounds nuts - but get some vics vapo rub - tonight when you go to sleep lather it on the souls of your feet and put on some good white cotton socks. I would also try a decongestant AND and antihistamine. Our doctor does not believe in cough syrup, but honey is good to quiet coughs. However I did get a prescription of some medicine called QuarTuss that is unbelievable for quieting coughs and that aheme aheeeeehhhm annoying thing. Other than that? Chicken soup, breathing a steam bath every couple of hours, plenty of fluids, LOADS of vitamin C - you can't take too much 5000 mg a day will help you (sorry mods) pee out a cold. And last but not least REST. If you dont' feel better in three days? Then you need to see a doctor possibly for some antibiotics. I'm not a nurse, but I just used to get a lot of colds - quit smoking and started being a germophobe and I'm much better now. Hope you feel well soon. [/QUOTE]
