have some every hour, or whenever you feel like some.
Better yet, play Bob Newhart* with a bottle of NiteQil.
*Watch the Bob Newhart show and every time someone says "Bob", you drink.

Always clears my head -- and it tastes better than urine. :)

had one that started last week in the chest; was almost done when my SO brought some ebola home from his office, then the niece strain from out of state; I had the triple whammy. My immune system should be cranked for about the next ten years now, but still hurkin up the occasional bright green furry lung booger - hope yours just stays in the head.

Water in large quantities, and brandy.
From your list, coffee. If I need to work with a heavy cold, I have incredibly strong black-sweet coffee, my whole mind is just a fog but I can work at a spectacular rate (on mindless stuff at least) on the caffeine high and sugar rush.

17. Water--you said you're all dried out but feeling worse, and that might be |
|
why. Partial dehydration?
Plain water in stupid quantities. As much as you can tolerate.
(My mom got me a book titled "You're not sick, you're thirsty" LOL. I'm all about water lately.)
Then have some tea.

21. A couple shots of brown liquor (preferably Rye if it's available), |
|
put on wool socks, and then bury yourself under as many blankets as you can stand to be under and go to sleep.
That usually does the trick for me. I'm not sure that medical science believes in "sweating out a cold", but I always feel immensely better the day after.
