Quick cold remedies??

PubStar09

Crap! I woke up this morning with a sinus headache. Got that to go away and now the glands in my throat are swollen and I'm getting sniffly.  Anyone have any remedies that will kick this cold's @ss before it kicks mine for 2 weeks?

I swear Airborne helps mine.

Me too.  Try to drink a lot of fluids if you can.  I will sometimes try a sudafed, but I don't know if you're BF (I hear it can mess with supply).

Extra Vit C, A colorful diet (fruits & veggies), Chicken noodle soup, tons of fluids, lot's of rest. Gargle frequently with salt water. Drink tea with honey. Put a pillow in between the mattress and boxspring, where your head goes. It will elevate your head while you sleep. 

If your head & nose are stuffy, try this: Pour boiling water into a  metal bowl and toss in a menthol cough drop, or some peppermint extract. Put your head over, cover with a towel and breathe in the fumes.
