    Packets of Emergen-C. Get it any place that sells vitamins or Tylenol (like the drug store, grocery store. whatever). It's 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C plus a bunch of other vitamins and you just mix the powder with whatever drink (I recommend water or Sprite). It always does the trick for me. 

    Also, sleep if you can. Also, hot tea.

    Moonshine with some honey. I swear by it. If you can't get your hands on some real moonshine (not the crap they sell in the store), then whiskey works pretty good.

    DayQuil and a shot of vodka before sleep.

    I'm sorry....colds suck. Go to bed as early as you can. Drink more water than you think you can handle. Eat chicken soup. Take daily vitamins. Snuggle any available fur babies.

    Oooh I've been dying to try a Hot Toddy! They're supposedly a great cold remedy. If they're good enough for Scarlet O'Hara then they're good enough for me ;) 

    Ingredients:

    • 2 ounces whiskey (we use Jack Daniels)
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 4 ounces water (hot from the tap)
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (we use the stuff in the plastic lemon)
    • 1 slice fresh lemon (if we don't have this we don't use it) (optional)
    • Directions:1
    Place the whisky in a large microwave safe mug.
    2
    Add the honey.
    3
    Pour the hot water into the mug over the spoon you used for the honey to get off the last little drops.
    4
    Add the lemon juice and stir well.
    5
    Place the mug in the microwave for 1 minute or until it is piping hot, but not boiling.
    6
    Add the lemon slice and serve.

    I really like Tylenol Head Congestion... those things clear up my sinuses very quickly. They are coated with some weird cherry flavored menthol stuff that coats your throat as you swallow it, so they start helping immediately.

    I also like the Zicam stuff that is supposed to shorten a cold.  Every time I've used it, I've been much less sick than whoever I caught it from and usually feeling better in a day or two. That could also just mean I have a better immune system that fights it off better though. But, you also usually need to start taking it as soon as you get sick for it to be effective.

     

    My mom always says the best cold medicine is a shot of Hot Damn (cinnamon schnapps). Peppermint schnapps works too. Or Jack Daniels if something hotter isn't available.
