I can’t take a lot of cold medicines, but I wish I was unconscious right now.

What makes you feel better in this situation? Hot showers? Whiskey? Soup? Watching that comfort movie your mom put on when you were a kid?

    For me what always worked is, drinking tea (usually cranberry tea), eat warm soup take hot shower and sleep. I never take any medications for this. so just drink water and tea, eat and sleep.

      I remember reading an article years ago about how little good cold medicines actually do against the illness, so I’d already been mostly avoiding them. Except when I’m too congested or coughing too much to sleep. Then I miss them SO much.
