I have one as well.

for chest cold take a pot of water to boil and make a steam tent for 10 minuets.

for breathing rub vics vapor rub on your feet and wear socks overnight. it will help you breath
peppermint tea is good for your throat and cold

 vitamin c and rest  that is what I am doing

I'd been suffering for a week with a cold or sinus issues.  Wasn't sure which.  Couldn't sleep at night for coughing really hard all night.  Went to doc in a box cause my doctor was too booked to see me.  Got a steroid shot, a zpack antibiotics (for throat) and RX for cough med. with codeine.  Still took a few days but finally started feeling better.  Good luck with yours!

I have put this up more then once.The product is Fiber-biotics.A tasty chewable wafer by Purity Products in Long Island,NY.I swear by this stuff.It puts the good bacteria in your gut which helps your immune system to ward off disease.I have been taking them for yrs and see the results.You get a months supply for about $22.This is really an excellent company thats been around over 20 yrs.

The products are a little pricy but well worth it.They have a web-site.Taking anti-biotics all the time are no good cos they get rid of the good bacteria in your body too.

I swear by a mix of chamomile tea, a little splash of whiskey, lemon, and honey. It knocks it right out and will sanitize this system, it also really soothes the throat. My mom always made this for me when I was growing up.

Lemon, honey, and vitamin C always work pretty well for me. I also have this tea by Traditional Medicinals called Breath Easy. It helps clear all the snot. If you're already at a sore throat stage they also make one called Throat Coat.

When I feel a cold coming on I double up on my Vitamin C.  I usually take 2 500 MG Chewable tablets a day ... If I feel a little under the weather I take 4 for a day or so.  Seems to help me knock it out before it starts.

Drink lots of fluid - I find this really works in making that sore throat you feel coming a lot less painful.  I usually start taking some Tylenol early too, I think this makes the symptoms less severe.  Go to bed early, resting helps your body prepare for fighting the illness.  Hope you feel better soon!

Take Zink and a lot of it when you first feel a cold coming on.

I use grapefruit seed extract (4 drops) in a lil juice a few times a day. All I need, and the bottle lasts for many months.

Helps sinus, and all sorts of issues.

Look it up. Got this last batch from Amazon.
