Home Remedies

[Majic Walrus]

I'm really sick. I've got the coughing, sore throat, sneezing, congested, pissy, sore and headache sickness.

Any home remedies you know of that work?

Time, rest, fluids, and medicine. No voodoo will fix you, just let that rhinovirus have its way with you for a few days

 

[Majic Walrus]

Rhinovirus sounds so much cooler than "a cold."

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, indeed. The way it got its name is a myth anyway; exposure to cold weather doesn't increase your susceptibility at all. All our mothers lied to us and made us put on mittens and hats when we were little

 

[darkseid26]

Home made Chicken soup and a cold Sprite

 

[Majic Walrus]

It probably doesn't help that I'm working today.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Your job stressful?

Good thing too, they're very emasculating

Your job stressful?

It is highly stressful.

a teaspoon of honey and lemon for the sore throat.

A teaspoon of lemon or lemon juice?

teaspoon of honey in a shot of jack daniels then sleep - never tried it myself but I know a bunch of old folks in the country that swear by it

This sounds like the best remedy.

Whenever I feel a cold coming on or get a cold, I just switch my diet to chicken soup and juices. Makes me need to continuously go to the wash room, but usually takes care of the cold as well.

Upon all of your suggestions I've eaten chicken noodle soup and drank a lot of juice and water. (I can't stomach too much juice because of ulcers)

I plan on taking the lemon, honey, jack shot this evening before I sleep.

I like that you added pissy. Nice touch.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'd love to taste homemade chicken noodle soup. I've only ever had the runny Campbells/Progresso crap.

Thanks.

This is incredibly sad. My wife makes a killer chicken noodle soup. If I weren't gulping it by the gallons I would send you some.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, salt overload

Whaaa? I need to make you some soup!

I miss jag.

 

[WompuM]

Jalapenos and a shot of Jack. Jalapenos have 5X as much Vitamin C as oranges.

 

[AndThePickles]

Also, rather than just plain chicken noodle soup, I'd recommend eating SPICY chicken noodle soup. It'll help clear up your congestion.

A good temporary relief for sore throat is to gargle a lukewarm glass of saltwater. Just mix a bunch of salt with tapwater, a whole glassful one mouthful at a time until it's gone (if you swallow... try to resist the urge this time). Doesn't last too long but when you have a sore throat... any relief is good relief.
