How do you rid of a cold?


How do you rid of a cold?

Well, I also have a sore throat, my voice is really really low, and last time I had a sore throat, people was saying my voice was breaking, and calling me a boy.
How do i get rid of it?

Soothing drinks like honey and lemon, your usual pain killers like aspirin, paracetamol, light nourishing food, soup, toast scrambled egg, keep away from other people if you can especially crowded places, that's how you pick up the secondary infections that go on and on, nice warm bath, go to bed with a good book, some music and a bin or something to put wet tissues in.
An antihistamine tablet helps dry up the secretions at night (like benadryl). Ask a pharmacist
No to antibiotics, they won't touch the cold virus and are only needed if you do get secondary infections that go on and on.
So spoil yourself and wallow in it.

Nothing will get rid of it, it will clear up on it's own in a few days time. But to reduce your symptoms...
Drink plenty of water or anything.
Avoid milk--that makes a blocked up nose worse.
Take some cough sweets
And something for a blacked up nose like a decongestant tablet or something.

Im sorry to hear you don't feel well. I find that honey and a squeeze or two of lemon added with some warm water will help you. Things like soup or rice pudding, hot chocolate or a cuppa can always help! stick to warm things and liquid!

i have been in bed for the past three days with flu. Today is my first day where i am starting to feel like a human again! :-)
I would advise plenty of water, rest, paracetamol and ibuprofen

antibiotics. Get a prescription. Though youll likely just have to tough it out. Sorry.
