For a cold what do you do?

Give me your suggestions! I have had a cold for the past 2 weeks and nothing I do is working. I gave it to DH. I was feeling better but now I feel crappy again. Blah!!!

DH made me a tea and whiskey drink. Not sure if it is helping, but the whiskey is making me feel somewhat better for now.

The drink should help you get some sleep. Put honey in it to sooth your throat. 

ETA: Oh, I hope you feel better!

I was so sick last week that I couldnt take it anymore. I took Tylenol cold and flu (the am/pm kind) and it worked like a charm. Plus, lots of fluids and sleep!! Get well hun!

Why clear broth? 

And probably the reason why I have been feeling crappy lately is because I have not been sleeping very well.

Ears and eyes are burning??  Is that from the fever?  Not much you can do - I'd take Tylenol and lots of fluids for the fever.

Unfortunately yes it is from the fever. It sucks so much!

Oh, that just means not cream-based or thick bean based soup.  So like, chicken soup and stuff like that. Because those can increase mucous production.

When I get sick and have a hard time eating etc,... I make a clear broth- I put in veggies, potatoes etc and simmer for about 30 mins then strain. You get tons of vitamins and minerals and can drink something hot. Always makes me feel better!

Get well soon sweetie! 

Oh papps my dear that sounds amazing at this moment. DH just got me some hot and sour soup which was very yummy! I will have to try your veggie soup tomorrow. Thanks!
