Comon Cold remedies

My Cousin also swears that by drinking a combination of Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey and Water every day he has never been sick.

OMG, that would MAKE me sick!

Hot toddy all the way, Hannah! whiskey, honey, fresh lemon, and boiling water. Have two! It may not help your cold, but you won't care. Dayquil and Nyquil if you can get it over there. But not if it's the American version.... it has different ingredients which don't work.

It's pretty bad. Even if you dump 8 ounces of honey in it!

If you are sneezing constantly, it may be allergies. You might want to take antihistamines. If it's just common colds, increase fluid intake may help. Cut down on sweets.

I'm very relieved not to suffer from hayfever as I'm allergic to antihistamines.

Garlic tablets.

Nags. I think the issue here is the sniffles, not Vampire attacks. Lets play scrables.

I was thinking along the lines of prevention.

0k, Nighthawk, you're up in Scrabble.

Back in Poland when I was growing up my grandma used to prepare a magic potion of hot milk, minced garlic and butter and force us to drink it up. She always raved about the effectiveness of this but I have hard time accessing the suppressed memories of drinking such gross-sounding mixture...

Mmmm, add a little cheese and pour it over pasta for a nice alfredo.
