Common Cold Remedies You Know Of ?

Question

I got a cold a few days ago, and at the WORST possible time. I have a horse show coming up on Saturday, and i need to be better hopefully by thursday, friday at the latest. I know there is no actual cure for colds, but is there anything i can do to help my body fight it? Im already taking vitamin C, drinking orange juice, taking Zinc tablets, and multi-vitamins, but is there anything else? My nose is constantly plugged. and its causing my throat to hurt, and thats making me cough. My tonsils are red, but not too bad. I just started DayQuil cold reliever, and it seems so be helping. I need this cold gone ASAP!

Thank youu :)

Vitamin C and multi-vitamins are better for prevention of colds than treatment.  The rest of your current medications and supplements simply suppress your symptoms.

The best treatment at this point are Zicam Cold Remedy Gel Swabs.  They will reduce the duration and severity of your cold, though they would have been more effective if you had used them as soon as you felt symptoms.

You can find the Zicam swabs at your local drugstore.

Happy riding!

Take 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Stir it together and warm it in the microwave or stove-then sip it like tea. It doesn't taste great but it will clear your nose/sinuses right up and will soothe your throat:) Also drink a ton of water......good luck with your show!
