Drink lots of fluids (discounting alcohol drinks), like juice and along those lines. Also Coricidin tablets work really well.

Take Airborne, which is basically a megadose of vitamins to help your body fight it off. The shit works. If you take it at first sign of a cold, you'll never get a cold. Even if you already have a cold, it'll shorten the length of it. Just make sure to keep taking it until whatever it is is gone. Ever since I started taking it last year, I've never gotten a cold, even though I'm constantly around sick people at work and on the bus.

Eat an orange or two instead of pills containing vitamins and whatever, and sleep it off. Fluids were already mentioned, tea works wonders if you've got a sore throat.

Gurgle Hydrogen Pyroxide (if i spelt that correct) It kills your sore throat for good

Any drug store like Walgreens or CVS, or any grocery store. Don't get the generic, pay the extra buck for the real stuff b/c the generic tastes horrible. Not that the Airborne tastes great, but it's a bit better tasting than the generic. I put like 1" of hot water in a glass so it's less to have to drink.

/agree

We actually stock Airborne on the snack shelf at work, everyone at work uses it regularly. You really have to be proactive though. I start taking Airborne when anyone in my family gets a cold, or anyone at work starts sniffling. If you wait until you are stuffed up it is ineffective.

Oh, and don't mix it with any carbonated beverages. very big mess.

Pink Grapefruit and lemonade are the best flavors.

Hot Tottys. (sp?)

Lemon, Honey, Whiskey, Boiling Water. Lots of 'em.

And don't smoke any weed (if you can help it) like someone suggested. It will not help your immune system's fight against the virus. You will experience worse congestion and uncomfortable body temperatures.

lol, i love the english attitude: if youre sick, drink tea. if youre bored drink tea.If youre cold drink tea.If youre hot drink tea -i could go on for ages. i dunno about gettin rid of colds, but i have had one for past month -or i thought i did- so went to doctors and turns out i might be diabetic or anemic, or another one of those tediously common diseases...
...i off to drink some tea...:D

Myth. Gurgling Hydrogen Peroxide on its own will not do anything. It is when it is mixed with water that H2O2 will form oxygen gas which does all your bacteria-killing and disinfecting. It's great for open sores and cuts inside your mouth but I'd be skeptical whether a doctor would recommend it for sore throats. I'm sure it won't hurt but...
