clubbingirl Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 -drink lots of water. -take zinc.-drink orange juice.-eat right (veggies, etc)-exercise lightly (ur most suseptible to getting sick right after a workout when ur immune system is lowered).-now i dont know if this is true, but my mom always told me to eat garlic w/my meals b/c it helps build ur immune sys.

xoericajadexo Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 another thing is don't drink, although I never listen to my own advice......if you are only getting a cold it doesn't matter but with a fever its a whole other story......I've started eating oranges everyday and I don't get sick anymore, so maybe try that.And SLEEP!

ovrdose Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 i've noticed that ever since i started to seriously work out i haven't really gotten sick in the past three years. i guess somehow your immune system is effected or made stronger, but im not gonna complain. besides that just pop a multivitamin in the morning to make sure you get your vit c which is major, and also it's not a bad idea to take echinechea (sp??) i heard, my roomie used to swear by it, although i don't take it and have been fine.

barraquilla Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 what usually works for me is drinking tea (green) with a lot of lemon for a few days and eating fruit, mango, orange, mamey, pineapple, etc., whatever has a lot of vitamin c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linka Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 - 2 Vitamin C tablets per day until you're better (then narrow it down to 1 per day)- lots of tea with lemon and honey- don't work out, b/c that just spreads the bacteria throughout your body more- water- limit your food to smaller intakes but all healthy barraquilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoxikated Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 Thanks for the advice,I drank like a gallon of orange juice last night and I feel a little better today....I've also been popping vitamin Cs like candy lol barraquilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy76 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Try Airborn Cold remedy (sold in all drugstores). They're tablets you drop in water & drink 2-3times a day.I used this when I just started feeling the sore throat coming on & it really worked. I was skeptical about it, but I always keep some on hand. I think it's the Effervescent in it that takes away your symptoms. barraquilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 I feel like I'm starting to get sick...my throat's just a little sore and scratchy, and I'm starting to get a fever...does anyone have any quick cold or sore throat remedies to prevent this from becoming a full-blown cold? I can't miss any more work loleat one whole lemon, or one very very very big orange.or take vitamin c (w/o exceeding 2k mg a day)those are my two ways to ward it off, but i dont think theyve ever come up with a cure for the common cold because there are so many dif. strands of it that its impossible to... or so ive been told...

ou812 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 If you've already got a nasty scratchy throat cough, try that Buckley's cough syrup, it's the most odd cough syrup I've ever tried but it works. Tastes like you are drinking gasoline when taking it down, but as soon as you swallow it, it like numbs your whole throat. Very hard to describe the sensation of taking it.
