My 1st cold in 15 years, what do you take

[ttwarrior1]

not sure if its allergies, a cold, cough or what but ive had it for 3 days and it won't go away. its not real bad.

Its more of an itchy feeling in the back of my throat and feels like dust is stuck in it. Little bumps on side of tongue. Stuffy nose and no chest congestion , feel a little pale and cold but not real bad. Im not coughing alot, just maybe one big one every 30 min, clear my throat a few times, nose is not running, just stuffed up

2 tablespoons of codeine has done nothing, benadryl, garlic, onion, vitamin c, ginger, teas, cayenne,
claritin, nyquil, saline nasal spray has done nothing so far

Rather not go to doc to take any med.
No idea if its a cold or allergy because i simply just rarely get sick.

is echinacea and goldenseal a scam? Thought about dishing out ten bucks for a bottle

Sounds like you got a STD to me son go to the doctor right away. And stay away from those Craigslist/Wal Mart hookers.

Ragweed started blooming in much of the country in the past week. I almost never get sick, but that shit started wearing me out me out 5 years ago, and I went a couple of months before a doctor identified what was going on. I have jumped around from Claritin, to Singulair, to Zyrtek and they are all ok for fighting it. Most take a few days in a row to really take full effect in your body, but they will do the job.

im looking for a natural cure pretty much. I guess its allergy and not cold

Claritin is some expensive stuff. I'll buy one more i guess

Take Zinc and pound down as much natural honey- not pasteurized and unfiltered if you can find it, the more bee particles in it the better. Works for colds and allergies.

[doublej95]

rat poison should help you out tt.

[tad0matic]

damn son, suck it up and move on, what if we all posted online every time a sniffle or tickly throat bothered us? be a man and walk with it.

[InTheDrink]

What do I take? Just some basic ibuprofen

What should you take? Bullets in your skull moving at a high velocity

Zinc and I likes to chug ny-quil and sleep for 10-12 hrs. Wake up feeling pretty good.

Yes stick to natural. If it's allergies, I don't know of any natural remedies except exercise. I never sneeze or feel my allergies when I exercise, the problem is that it is only a short-term solution.

If it's a cold, what I do is megadose on Vitamin C, ie 1500 - 2000mg 3 times/day for a couple of days. It does NOT cure the cold, but in my experience, it makes the symptoms vanish. On top of this, I go about my life like Im not sick, still go to the gym, exercise, eat the same etc... I disagree with doctors when they say 'stay in bed and just drink fluids'. I only do that if it's something serious like a stomach virus.

Claritin and Zyrtec have gone OTC generic, so it's not a bad as you think. You can get 300 Zyrtec generic at Sam's for 20 bucks. Probably similar at Wal Mart.

clean the keys of your keyboard and clean your mouse

you're most likely getting yourself sick with your own germs

or the germs from the remnants of food on your keyboard
