NeverGG most pharmacies around where I live (Sinchon) sell TheraFlu, which is a drinkable remedy, they have day and night time versions, the daytime one allays teh symptoms and the nighttime one (drowsy) fights it away

I strongly reccomend it it helps me every time, give it a go!

I also have a pretty severe cold these days

I find that an air humidifier can work wonders, because Seoul winters are so dry compared to the UK/Ireland, messes up our noses :X

Everything everyone said. Do it.

And keep getting adequate protein intake. This is definitely not a scientific way of evaluating anything, but when I've kept up protein intake (in addition to doing everything else as suggested,) I recover pretty quickly. Not much point in using any treatments for an illness if you're not even eating what you need for basic metabolic functions.

I cant say anything that hasent been said ten times already, but i hope you get well soon. You really should take lilsusies advice just to make sure, and get a warm jacket! Thats the number one reason people get sick, if they arent dressed warm enough.

Well actually... exercise will weaken your immune system

stay away from tea if your throat doesnt feel well, the caffeine is pretty bad for you. Warm water with lemon and honey works wonders though.

if im not mistaken it was proved that vitamin c isnt as useful to combat flu as we thought (soft way to say it is USELESS)... but i dont remember the source.

I've had a gigantic cold over the last week.

Remember when you were told as a kid to drink lots of water? I've always tried to drink more than usual when I have a cold. What they meant though, was to drink LOTS of water. I sat with a drink bottle beside me. I drank it down normally, as one might drink a glass of water. After it had emptied, I went and filled the bottle up again. Almost immediately, I felt thirsty again, so I started on the second bottle.

Went through about 6 litres of water in a couple hours. Had to go to the toilet a lot of course. Next morning I woke up, after feeling absolutely horrendous the entire previous day, feeling much better.

Probably a combination of factors that all helped in the end. Do try it though, it will help you (if not as much as it seemed to help me).

Hope you get well soon.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

sorry if this has been said already. To stay healthy, take a brief cold shower every morning ( i shower warm and then briefly cold). Take a deep breath from time to time. Drink a lot. Exercise at least a bit. Sleep enough.

Vitamin D at least 5,000-10,000 IU see this link for more details. Especially of you get very little sunlight, drink no/little dairy and rarely eat fish. I took 20,000-25,000 IU when I was sick.. worked like a charm. My 'flu' was gone in <2 days.

Vitamin D upregulates cathelicidin and defensins which are anti-microbial peptides. AMPs protect against and help fight bacteria and viruses. Also, vitD increases T lymphocyte activity.

edit: largest study to date:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19237723

Vitamin C does nothing for colds. That's a myth. It boggles my mind how anyone can think an anti-oxidant can improve the immune system.... and there's ZERO research that shows vitC protects against or improves colds or the flu.

(btw, doubters -- google and pubmed)


Combine vitamin D with lots of sleeping and you'll be healed in no time. Take a multi-vitamin as well just in case your body is lacking other deficient minerals.

Keep your feet dry people underestimate the power of a good pair of waterproof boots. In general staying dry is the most important thing for you to do out in the cold. The specific heat of water is ludicrous and will leech heat out of you!
