The Common Cold (theories how to cure it)

Rayne Hokuto Royal 16 years, 9 months ago at Sep 3 13:15 -
The common cold, they say it has no cure, but I've heard different from many people. I usually wing it untill it passes, but it comes back almost everytime. Any remedies that you people have to cure it, please lend me a hand. I'm kinda home sick today (mainly because I was foolish enough to go outside and dance in the rain yesterday). So does anyone have any ideas ?

Here's a scientific explanation of the common cold in simple terms:
There is a cure! It's a virus, so you can be immunised. But the virus mutates and changes every year. A vaccine would be developed, then a few months later would be useless. There's a cure...just no permanent cure.

Here's are a few ideas to make some of the symptoms go away: if you have a sore throat, drink black team with a few drips of lemon juice. Both those things are acidic. If you're desperate for a sore throat to go away in a matter of seconds, drink straight lemon juice.
For the coughing, don't sniffle too much. Drink plenty of water.
For a blocked nose...can't really help you. Try cold and flu tablets I guess.

I'm not into taking health meds, So assuming I don't have a fever, I take a hot bath (as hot as I can stand it) then sweat my balls off (you'll know when you've had enough) drink a ton of water, some soup and get minimum 8+ hours of sleep that night. colds/flu only last me a couple days.

yeah try to get some mesicine that increase vitamin's in your system and hot baths if you take a shower mainly hit your nose with the hottest water you cna stand cause with me that clears up my nose. Also get a hold of some orange juice that is very helpful with the sore throat.

Dancing in the rain wont get you a cold. Getting cold or wet has nothing to do with it, considering it's caused by a virus. Drinking plenty of fluids and RESTING are essential when you are ill. Your body has enough to deal without strenuous exercise on top!

It's just a cold though, man up!

My mum always use to tell me that when I went out with wet hair that I would end up with a cold. Then an episode of E.R told me that was a lie!

I like snuggling up with hot lemon and honey. When I have a sore throat I also live on spray that anesthetises the entire area! Genius!
