Whats the fastest way to get rid of a cold/cough??


Question: I have a runny nose, caugh, my voice sounds funny, and yeah i hate it.

Im taking cough syrip, pills and whatnot. buut..

These things always last too friggin long...SOOoo. Is there anything i can do to speed this up.
Answers: Unfortunately, no, I just got over a 4-day cold and it totally sucked. You gotta let your immune system take care of it, in the mean time you can fight the symptoms of it (cough, runny nose, sore throat, etc) with cough syrup and such. Just try and take it easy. I've heard that zinc and vitamin C help in the aid of fighting it.

Best of luck!
you should try eating oranges because they have vitamen C
and they are muchhhh better for you than drink oj or taking a vitamen C pill
you can also drink lots of water that helps clear out your system
taking all of the pills and cough stuff won't really help
when i was really sick and my voice was really messed up (i have noooo clue if this will help you) i drank tea and that helped my throat
when my friend was sick too and it messed up her voice she said drinking coffee helped her so i dunno
I myself drink hot/warm tea with a little bit of honey and lemon in it. it loosens up the mucus in throat so you can cough it up better.
also when you do cough it up do not swallow always spit out. If you do swallow the mucus then you will vomit it later.
Believe it or not I've tried Zicam (you can purchase at a drug store) and my cold's have been cut in half! I never thought it would work until I tried it.
you can't get rid of cold.

just rest. buy some over the counter reliever or decongestant if you're not feeling well. have some plenty of rest. hydrate yourself once in a while.
Zinc lozengers, which can be bought next to the cough drops, and the generic brand is chearer, which works just as good, also Zicam althought a little pricey it works great and is proven to shorten the duration of a cold, it can be purchased at any drug store but Wal-mart is cheaper. Take care get plenty of rest, and some hot chicken soup helps also. Hope you feel better soon.
I usually drink a lot of water..not too much. Take the vitamin everyone is talking about. Green Tea, for throat. Helps me.. and be active. Being physically active can boost up the anti-bodies to work faster... This usually helps me. I don't lay around and wait for it to take care of me. When I move around and do things..not only do I forget about it, but I recover faster..up to 3 days.. and it's done passed over.. Good luck and get well soon..
I tried Zicam a few months ago and I'm amazed at how well it worked. I took one tablet every four hours (even throughout the night) and it knocked out my cold within 36 hours. Give it a try, you've got nothing to lose.
rest, drink tea and get also get vitamin c, u can drink lemonade, orange juice, etc. just get vitamin, also dont get exposed to cold breezes.
Take cold eeze candy, it is good for cough and cold, you can get this in over the counter pharmacy or grocery store. And,you can stop or at least cut down,if you smoke cigarettes.
Products like Ziacam, Airborne and Cold Ease really do work. They load you up with lots of vitamins which helps your body fight the cold better, hence you get rid of it faster. Mucinex is also a great over the counter medication that helps break up and bring up mucus to get it out of your system. Lots of water will also help in thinning mucus so it's easier to get out of your body.
peel a whole onion and leave it whole fill enough water in a pan to cover and bring to boil till onion is tender either eat the onion or the juice in the pan. then wrap up in pyajamas and a bathrobe then ur blanket and goto bed and sleep you will swet the cold out of you!
