i'm struggling. major coughs and aches with a probable fever, but i got a ton of shit to do. a few doctors have told me that you shorten the length of a cold by not taking any medicine that attacks the symptoms.do i hit cvs on my way home... OR.... suck it up/walk it out/be a man?

    I'll take something for sinus pressure and stay popping cough drops.



    If you've got a sore throat, gargle with room temp salt water. That'll help with irritation. (Don't swallow it...automatic cookie-toss reflex action. Great for anyone who needs to barf, though).


    Otherwise, ride it out like a G...

    Well if its one of those knockout/im sleepin all day ones, no.

    But if its a regular cough/runny nose/minor aches.

    Get that blood pumpin' and get that metabolism recharged. A long walk.light jog,simple stretching....it wont stop the cold or its symptoms, but it will help your body's recuperative powers get a jumpstart.

    my ex used to do this whenever she was getting sick. seemed to help. she worked in a day care so this was a common thing...

    I know Emergency-C (a orange powder that you just swirl in water) is more of a preventive measure, but you could try that. I almost felt sick yesterday, and I drank a cup of that and felt better afterwards.
