Cut your nose off and fill the holes with Pepper, that should help until you pass out from bloodloss and pain.....

I thought it was common knowledge that there currently is not a cure for the cold virus.

Sleep and take a double dose of Vitamin C and Zinc tablets. Won't cure a cold but it'll give your body the best tools to fight it!

Lemsip max every 4 hours, Nurofen cold and flu 2 hours later and then every 4 hours as well, so that you are effectively alternating Paracetomol (?sp) and Ibuprofen - but if you O/D, it's not my fault!

I like to think downing a whole carton of an Innocent Smoothie of my choice (Guavas, Mangoes, and Goji berries last time; although any are good) helps.

They are stuffed with plenty of vitamins, and taste good so that makes me feel better.

I like to chase them down with two bottles of red wine, using the theory that grapes are fruits too. Then I forget I have a cold. Perfect!

Lots of spicy food.
Take some Echnichea.
Stand over the sink every hour, one finger over a nostril and blow hard clearing all the gunk out, helps breathing through the nose and stop the sniffing too.

I went to the British Grand Prix once all expenses paid VIP package. Woke up at 4am with the worst cold in history. So I pop to the garage and get the Lemsip capsules 2 every 4 hours apparently so 2 at 4am 2 at 8am and 2 at 12 followed by 3 bottles of champagne . I felt fine and the cold was gone, cured myself in no time at all best Grand Prix ever!. beer

It is my understanding that taking lots of Vitamin C will make little difference.

Your body requires iron in order to absorbe the various vitamins, and excess vitamin C will just 'flush out' (IRRC).

I take a zinc tablet every day, and it works wonders.

Once you've got one though, only rest gets rid of it!

place several crushed cloves of garlic and birs-eye chillies underneath your foreskin. If you don't have one, then taken rectally will be fine. You may not feel better (immediately) but it will take your mind off your cold .. and either way, it'll be a nice treat for your partner.

My God! That's terrible, really terrible. I feel so sorry for you, that is quite the saddest and worst thing I've heard in a long time.

I'd have to top myself if I couldn't drink Whiskey.

Right,

Well i tried a method that a lot of people at work told me to do, which was to boil some cider and drink that! Doesn't appear to work im afraid! I am currently sitting with a box of Beechams flu plus cuz our shop doesnt sell those lemsip max tablet things! I can feel a horrendous cough coming on too!

Time for a fag!

Put a hat on, keep your head warm.
If you have the throat as well, wrap a scarf round it, keep it warm.
You may sweat a bit but keep them on.

Eat hot spicy food, very hot

I would avoid the lemsips and tablets mainly because they just make you feel even more ste.

Take paracetamol or nurofen for headache.

Works for me.
