oh colds... how deppressing...
Lucozade is really good at giving you energy whilst having a cold. they even sell it at some chemists.
And try to get loads of sleep. your body repaires itself whilst you are asleep. it does you a world of good.
i hope you get well soon xxx

Best cure for a cold is not thinking you have one, get on with everyday life and dont even think about it. Its all in your head! Honestly, if you ignore it, it will get better - psychologically proven.

Vitamin C is good at preventing, not curing, a cold...
So once you're sick it's useless :-)

Bump..just starting a cold and going on holiday in 4 days..want it gone by then.

So far I'm taking:
Strepsils
Lemsip
Halls Soothers
lots of water/hot drinks

Am thinking positive..I WILL NOT GIVE IN!! Etc. Any specific tips for travelling with a cold? How to make myself comfy on a freezing cold plane/getting off freezing cold plane into v.hot climate? I don't wanna knock myself out asleep on the plane as I have to keep walking around (potential DVT risks..)

Bizarrely, when I get ill, I always have cravings for oranges (it was all I ate for about 2 weeks when I had pneumonia). Dunno whether it's some subconscious thing trying to boost my immune system or whether I just like them :confused:

Echinacea is meant to be good but I've never tried it.

I have a cold too *sneezes*. My throat is killing me - i could barely speak yesterday!

I'm just trying to get on with everyday life and not think about it (tho it does get hard when your best friend insists you sound/look awful, then wraps you in a blanket and makes you numerous cups of hot chocie!) Im hardly gonna complain tho! :adore:

Kitty Kat - im definately up for trying the chocolate remedy! :p:
