Some one told me that if you put Vicks on the bottom of your feet then socks on when you go to sleep it will stop the cough...Never tryed it but I did google it and some say it works

[SusyQ]

Onions also in your socks work too.

want mine?

lots and lots of orange juice and vitamin C tablets and most importantly, REST!! Hope you feel better soon!

[Madmax]

Yes vitamins are OK, but never take more then the required body amount as they can become more harmful then good.

[dancingqueen]

usuall if you OD on vitamins you just pee them out.
But Vitamin C is not very usefull to me since I smoke and It helps prevent the cold, but not cure it, although Vitamin C stuff usually makes you feel a hell of alot better

cod liver oil caps..
good for the immune system

[leechloie]

Unfortunately there are certain vitamins that don't get excreted if u take them in excess and will become toxic to your body . Vitamins A, D, E, and K all remain in your system. So don't overdo the vitamins.. astragalus is good for the immune system.

I tried the Vicks on the soles of my feet with socks on, I don't know if it worked or not, but it felt cool.
I religiously take garlic pills, but I still got the flu 3 weeks ago, now I have an ear infection.

I hadn't had a cold in at least two years either until I went to visit a friend to help him with his pc, he had a dandy cold and two days later my throat started to get sore, then the sinuses, now the chest. I hate colds big time!!

I tried this new thing called..
Benylin 1 Extra Strength All-in-one Cold and Flu, it seems to work fairly well /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

OMG are you sure your not my mother? She use to do this with vics. To this day I can not stand the smell of onions or anything about an onion.

[Simba]

I just started this stupid cold now /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

[dancingqueen]

it sucks don't it? I hope you feel better soon

[gouligann]

Onions in the socks, that must feel great to walk on. My granny used to rub vicks up her nose. Yuck!

I am just getting over my cold and I take 1000mg of VitC every day, religiously. Hadn't had one in 3 years and caught this virus going around, so it must be bad one. I just hate the coughing in the night. Get plenty of sleep? ya right lol

[alecat10]

The onion thing worked for me, however,I put it on my bedside table. It stopped my cough, really! Also, Redoxon-B (sp) is a vitamin tab you disolve in water. It gave me a boost of energy instantly. It has a 1000mg of vit. C, and small dose of B complex, & magnessium. It comes in blue cyclinder from the drug store. Helped me a lot with the cold thingy! Always speak with your doc first, especially if you are on meds. /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

LOL.. It sucks even more when you're pregnant and can't take any medication (but halls & tylenol) to help you feel better!! I have another 6 weeks to go *knock on wood* that I don't catch this bug!!

I too rub vicks in my nose at bedtime, helps you breathe better! Although now I found a nose spray, Afrin (heard you can't get it anymore tho??) which clears congestion for 8-10 hours, I love it!! Not sure about when pregnant tho. Colds suck, but I'd rather that then the "out both ends" Flu /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

[Simba]

My nose is so red and sore from blowing so much that I've resorted to putting Pentatin diaper cream under my nose. /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif
