Head Cold

There is some (scientifically inconclusive) evidence that zinc can shorten the length of a cold by a day or so. Here's what the Mayo Clinic has to say:

Zinc for colds: The final word? - MayoClinic.com

Never tried it, but if I had a cold right before TTR I'd try just about anything. I don't get sick very often at all, but when I get a cold I turn myself worthless for 48 hours or so, total rest, all day on the couch, tons of liquids and vitamins, and definitely nothing strenuous like the gym. I'd rather be worthless for 2 days than linger at 50% for a week or more.

Good luck!

 

I have been on leave since Wed.
dont go back to work till April 2nd

God I love my job:clappyinghappy::daveandmo:

But will drink some more tea though

 

Thanks :angel2:

 

hot toddy and a steaming hot bath

 

Salt water garggle three times a day, double vitamin C daily everyday and you'll never get sick.

 

Pure orange juice

 

Zycam seems to work for us. Best if taken early on. It has zinc in it.

 

Lots of sleep, lots of fluids, Cold FX and "tea" made of hot water, lemon juice and honey.

 

Im a big fan of taking Zycam..getting sh!tfaced drunk on bourbon and sweating it out with a electric blanket. Seems to work for me

 

Thanks for all the advice. Iam feeling abit better now, tea a hot bath and three fingers of scotch and some meds sorted me out.At about 80% now.

Yep now Jo has it :icon_frown: passed on all your advice and I hope she is over it soon. I told her she is staying in bed all day and Ill look after her.

Again thanks for the tips.:daveandmo:
