I've been sick since Monday. Its been hellish. The best thing I've found this time is the Tylenol cold medicine. Kicks Nyquil/Dayquil and Alka-Seltzer Cold's asses.

I just used my puffer and not much else. I find that pretty much the only thing that works for me is just resting at home.
Sleeping can help pass the time, so take something for that.

Hot showers cure everything.

steep some cut up ginger root in mildly boiling water for 1/2 hour or so. add a little honey to taste. alternate sips between the ginger tea and whiskey while watching The Big Lebowski.

Sorry, haha, forgot to mention that I only use my puffer when I have asthma, which is whenever I get a cold.

I've just got tonsilitis, along with a kidney inflammation. nice experience.

(Feb 10 07, 13:04)I've never done it at work unless I was actually sick. I've done it many times for school, but no one usually notices. Just friends who take the same classes with you.

ColdFX or similar. It's a homeopathic immune booster... basically ginseng, but they do something to extract the active ingredient, which can (apparently) vary widely in it's concentration from plant to plant.
anyways, it totally works if you start taking in the first 1-2 days or your cold.

some E and a half a dozen vodka red bulls should do the trick! :)

Two jumbo Nyquil gel capsules before bed and a few deep snorts of Afrin. Works a treat!

And oranges/orange juice for the vitamin C.
