Good for your throat, and it has all kind of healthy nutrients as well.

3. I swear by Tylenol Flu at the onset of a cold... |
|
usually knocks it out in a day or two. Can't explain why, though.

A hot water infusion with fresh squeezed lemon, honey, and a dollop of rum. Then to bed in PJ's and extra blankets. Sweat the sucker out...

1. gargle with warm salt water immediately and do it again in a couple of hours
2. disinfect your toothbruth with boiling water daily until this is gone. If you don't you just reinfect yourself.

19. Terwilliger, you must have hot tea and |
|
chicken noodle soup (Campbell's will do) and a sympathetic person to wipe your brow and bring you a cold hand towel to press upon your hot brow. Vick's vapor rub has no therapeutic value whatsoever, but will make you feel like you feel better whilst you suffer. Take care and drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest. PEACE, Nona

for just about anything. I used to drink Stoli, but now I'm reduced to drinking Popov, the bush* economy, don't you know!

I just wish I could make you the chicken soup! With tiny noodles. I made it for my friend who had pneumonia this time last year and she's alive to tell the tale!:-)
I hope you feel better soon...:hi:

This doesn't take much, about 1/4 of a shot of cognac -- tip your head back, take a sip, let it drizzle down the back of your throat. Helps it feel better and kills bacteria.
Seems to help a lot to ward off a serious sore throat when you catch that first little bit of soreness...

45. Keep it up with the fruit juice. A vitamin C supplement might protect |
|
you from future colds. Also, I have found tea with honey and lemon quite soothing for a sore throat. I'd make this for you if I could!:-)

41. Brew up some Cat Whiskers and Toad Toes. |
|
If that doesn't work consult some tea leaves and call Nostradamus in the morning.
Also, remember this, every flu of "bug" eventually goes away, unless it kills you.
Cheers:-)

46. I think I'll go sniff my jar of Vicks.... |
|
....just for nostalgia purposes and in anticipation of winter's colds. Little blue jar, sooothing smell, grease up your chest and neck and put on flannel PJs.
I find those little sniffer tubes of Vicks excellent at keeping the nasal passages clear in the winter, too. I keep one in my coat pocket.

Smells are the most evocative for memories, good or bad. I think that Vicks is a good one for all of us, despite the fact that we were all probably quite sick when we first smelled it! I love those tubes, also! LOL! :D
