Vics Sucks for me when ever i tried it, it has blocked more

Vicks is good, but I'm not sure he'll get it where he lives

Another way to get the steam in is to put on the shower and sit down and inhale the steam from it, or you could just take a shower

Yup, my mother works in a chemist but she's not around at the moment so i cannot ask her! I'm so glad I can have access to Dr. Abhas!

I might be thinking about something different but can't you put that on your chest? Always seemed to work for me.

Also my mum used to put some liquid or something on a tissue and put that under my pillow at night. Can't remember what the liquid is sorry, but someone might know.

Yeh you can, i smother it on my cricket shirt in the early and late season with a warmth creme thing which keeps my chest warm...the vicks makes sure i don't get a cold on the field and keeps a nice smell under my nose lol. Old rugby remedy.

I'll have to try this in my next rugby match. I bet you didn't do it in front of your team mates otherwise you'd look like a bit of a plonk.

You can't really do anything to shift a cold except get some rest. Sure you can do things to make you feel a bit better but you aren't treating the problem. Taking antibiotics is a waste of time, they have no effect on viral infections so your wasting your time there.

Olbas Oil - did the old pillow trick once, woke up and the whole of my face was numb where I'd tucked it inside the case, on top of the pillow... Damn that was bad lol.

The steam/towel worked well when I had croupe (sp.?), so I guess a cold should be no probs for it.

No doctor worth his/her salt should ever, ever prescribe you anti-biotics for a flipping cold.

Just let your body get rid of it, you won't shift it any other way, as said by others, you may make the symptoms less painful.

Plenty of room temperature water does it for me as well as staying warm, No cold drinks. Stay indoors and buy some Vapour Drops from your local chemist, Basically they help clear that annoying 'boginess' in your nose and throat when you sleep.

Nah wen't into the bathroom to rub myself up. But seriously, it works wonders AND if a lad goes to grab your shirt around your chest region, he's gunna slide right off and you're away

They ain't painful, just a pain in my ass

Nah i'll try the towel/steam trick and the paracetamol. Pretty much what the mother said!
