i drink a double shot of airborne every morning this time of year and i usually dont get sick, even though i have twins in 4th grade and a wife that's a school teacher. . .but, i always keep some alka-seltzer plus cold medicine around. . .the divided pack. . .1/2 daytime, 1/2 nighttime. . .it works well and doesn't dry me out so bad that i end up with a sinus infection.

i love the stuff. . .swear by it. . .the FDA poo-pooed it, probably because it's (relatively) cheap and it works

dayquil/nyquil

FTW!

zinc, airborne, vit C etc honestly do absolutely shit for colds. Airborne CAN help as a preventative measure, but once you have a cold it does shit.

Theraflu by night, dayquil by day and vicks 44 if you have a cough (vicks 44 has the highest dose of cough supressant of any OTC meds).

finally...... I didnt want to say it cuz plunkey will blow his sentimental tonsil whistle at me! But this is correct.

or AIDS. (full blown)

 

[shirlene29]

I hait u too

 

[shirlene29]

Vitamin C for preventing and treating the common cold

 

[puddlemonkey]

tough it out, you don't need meds, you pussy.

 

[gstacker]

Lol ya I'm being a pussy... All of a sudden I need cough medicine... I want my mom

 

[nefertiti]

buy generic Dextromethorphan HBr and take 2 doses

Vicks has a 20 mg dose....that's pretty much enough.

But yeah....those "remedies" are honesly complete BS.

 

[ortiz34]

+1 on the theraflu

 

[Strongbow]

Fuck all that bull shit boy. Give yourself an enema. 500 mgs of STFU and douche and call Chris tomorrow morning.

 

[trex74]

Robitussin for cough
Aspirin for headache
Halls/Ricola for sore throat
Lots of water
Chicken Noodle Soup
Oranges
Toast cut into triangles
Magazines
Rest

Personally I can't handle Contact C or any "daytime" cold medication, I get too high and it's a really unpleasant buzz

 

[gstacker]

Well I survived the night, nyquil n cough drops did me ok I feel like I have a hang over from the nyquil tho lol
if I don't feel better by tonight Ima go to level 2 Thera flu n chicken soup if things get real bad I might even try the toast cut into triangles lol

anyways today my throat is a lil more soar but I feel better hmmm

 

[Mr. dB]

Sudafed will get me through the daytime just fine, but I gotta time it right so that I'm not jittery when I need to sleep. Nyquil usually works to get me through the night but it hasn't helped much with this current cold. I actually felt my sinuses get tighter 10 minutes after I swallowed that crap last night.

PS: What is "Airborne"?

 

[ceo]

You need antivirals.

You have AIDS.

 

[gstacker]

[redshirt27se]
