OMG I HAVE THE WORST COLD!

The very best thing you can do is to boil water and keep the house humidified a bit. It will help keep the mucous running instead of slowing and down and getting worse. I take zinc and vitamin C w/ Zicam. Soup that is broth based, like chicken noodle or even herbal tea with lemon and ginger. Stay hydrated.

I drink echinesia tee at the slightest onset of symptoms. After that , vitamin c and zycam, or some form of zinc.

I am with Tammi and Nancy on this one !
And Grinde it out ......

Apple cider vinegar. I had my kids doing mini shots of it since they were kids as soon as they would feel a sore throat coming on or anything 😂 They would gag a little and be very dramatic but now all in high school and college and all 3 swear by it and I’ll catch them taking swigs on their own-ha! We’ve never had flu and rarely get colds. We could all just have great immune systems though 🤷🏽‍♀️

I drink A LOT of tea and hold my face over my mug to breathe in the steam! Lemon Ginger is my go to and Green Tea. Lots of OJ/vitamin C and I don't know if it actually works or if I imagine it, but dishes with lots of garlic!

probiotics/prebiotics & tea.. I also drink lemon ginger tea daily and take vitamins.. Zinc is really good to help shorten a cold.

I agree with everyone’s recommendation and add Oscillococcinum. It’s a homeopathic remedy that really works!

Steam bowl will clear your sinuses and it won’t make you more tired than you already are.

Hot green tea with honey & lemon, Zicam Cold Remedy ( you can get this at CVS/ any drug store), Nyquil/ Advil PM to help you sleep! Feel better :)

Lots of lemon tea and chicken or veggie broth usually does the trick for me, hope you feel better!

The Neti Pot has been my go to for sinus congestion. It really helps.

Ha! We were always prescribed hot toddies!

Okay you can make the following as a hot toddy or non-alcoholic, but usually clears ANYTHING up in 2-3 days if you make and drink it 2-3 times a day when sick:

Keila's Ginger Apple Cider Cure-All

Ingredients
Fresh Ginger Root (or you can substitute The Ginger People's minced ginger, as it has minimal additives and still has all of the health benefits of fresh)
Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
Raw (Local) Honey
boiled/hot water

Chop/mince the ginger root as large or small as you'd like (I recommend at least sliced rounds if not julienned/minced to release as much gingerol (the active anti-inflammatory compound found in ginger!) as possible). Add 1-2 capfuls of ACV (2 for large mugs, 1 for regular) and honey to taste. Mix all three in a mug. Add hot water and cover to steep for 3-5 minutes. Enoy!

We love Vicks and all their products!

A nice hot shower and a peppermint shower bomb

I hope you're feeling better Victoria!

Vick’s and a humidifier works wonders!

Sara Marie you nailed it ! Apple cider vinegar

I drink 4 packets of Emergen-C a day! Totally kicks it!
