Nasty

[Mint]

I have a really nasty chest cold (heh, bet you thought this was another sex topic) and I am miserable. Any good home remedies out there? I don't like even OTC drugs so any suggestions would be welcome.

Try rubbing baby oil on your chest, and back. to create heat.

It's really best to get some rest as well. When you are rested, your immune system will be strong enough to fight off the cold.

Lotsa fluids, vitamin C, and a humidifier can really help, as well. :)

Pearl Necklace, I hear it works almost as good as Vicks VapoRub, plus the guy gets something good out of it.

<made it dirty>

I'll rub whatever you want on your chest for you. Heh.

Bath too, not too hot or too cold.

ALWAYS drink at least 1 glass of water per hour.

[Betheny]

Jesus, you'll be pissing every 20 minutes.

If you're of legal drinking age...

My all purpose, treat any symptom, make you feel better special tea:

2-3 heaping Tbl frozen OJ concentrate
1-2 oz apricot brandy
1-2 oz Southern Comfort
1 tea bag Orange Pekoe
2-3 tsp honey

Combine all in a mug. Top off with water. Nuke till hot and let steap. Best before bed. Guaranteed to make you feel better and help you sleep. If not completely satisfied, BFD.

Any similar alcohols can be substituted such as cointreau, sloe gin, peach schnapps, etc.

Excluding the pearl necklace (no I am not going to wade through the sex thread to figure that one out although I can guess) and chest rubbing offer I have some good ideas now. Thanks very much. Looks like a visit to the liquor store is in order too.

Heh, i drink more than a pint an hour. I don't piss every 20 minutes. But i doubt you'd like my reccomendations. I gave it to Edaarin and he thought he was gonna die..but it worked!

[J-Tech]

I love trips to liquor stores too. Lets go.

When I have a cold I put Olbas oil in steaming hot water, putting a towel over my head and inhale for a while, it really helps clear airways and stops that stuffy feeling. I also put a few drops on a tissue and put it under my pillow cos I have trouble sleeping with a cold, it helps to make it easier.

Another thing that makes me feel better is a mug of hot chocolate, a hot water bottle and being wrapped up in my snuggly warm bed. Sleep is the best cure for everything!

Believe it or not, chicken noodle soup has been proven to ease the symptoms of a cold. Try eating a lot of that.

Me, I get a bottle of liquor or a case of beer and have at it.

[Mint]

You make me laugh Wezas which is a very bad thing right now cause it also makes me cough uncontrollably

Vic's Vapor rub when spread over special areas can make you feel better....

[Bobmuhthol]

Old quote.

Ugglorr [subdued]: "Stupid Arguments Top Ten List: #7 Bobmuhthol. Warrior or vapor rub scent?"

[KymberlynX]

Vicks vapor rub on your chest and under your nose...

At night, take a long hot bath and drink a hot toddy before going to bed.

Hot Toddy:

Hot Water
1 tbsp Whiskey
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Honey

It always tastes better when someone fixes it for you. ;)

And yes, drink the hot toddy while you are soaking in the tub.

ROFL Tayre! Had you ever got Vic's in your eye? That shit stings!

[Mint]

I think Edine meant somewhere else that would sting a hell of a lot worse.

I think Edine tried it. :lol:

I'm going to ignore that and act oblivious.

Sleep makes sickness go away.

I just saw Cabin Fever. Don't shave your legs under ANY circumstances. And if you do, don't run screaming out of the cabin.
