Ok, I have a (I think it is) cold. so I ask you, what are some remedies for a cold?
here are my symptoms, if it's a different ailment, I would be happy to know what it is: scratchy throat, clogged and runny nose, slight headache, and feeling like moldy poop on a stick. (:P)
For the sore throat, some cough drops or a salt water rinse and dirink lots of water. Runny nose, I don't know, probably some medicine, the ones that say clears nasal congestion, headache, some medicine, I forget the name, but maybe hedache relievers or suck it up, and as for feeling like moldy poop on a stick, no solution. I tyhink its just a cold. But I'm not a doctor.
Try making yourself sneeze. That can make your sinuses drain, which in turn can relieve the headache, stop your throat from being scratchy, and will make your nose clear up.
I usually try this when I have a cold, and it usually speeds up the recovery. I would also recommend that you drink a lot of water, that can relieve the headache too. Also, take it easy until you feel better (don't go and play football or anything like that.)
Drink a lot and sleep a lot. That's all I do when I'm sick, no matter what illness I have, and if anything it speeds up the healing process. My symptoms almost never last more than a few days. *knock on wood*
I'm sort of sick at the moment too, with swollen lymph nodes. Guess which remedy I'm using.
I don't know, when I have a cold it's intense runny nose for one day then it's gone. I usually eat hot soup and drink a lot of tea. When I have allergy and a scratchy throat I use Cepacol (spray) to numb the pain and have a cough drop. When I have a stuffy nose I rub my neck with Vicks or Mentholatum and wrap a towel around it and go to bed. I love the smell BTW. They need to make a perfume out of it. I don't like perfume but I would try this one. xD
