	I know I'm not the only one with a nasty cold (for a week now! ): The only thing keeping me from running is me and my current nasty cold! I'm currently enjoying the sedative effects of NyQuil. Also, I think this Airborne stuff tastes pretty good (and maybe it helps too?)... bubbly, almost like soda!

	Depends upon my symptoms. For a bad cough I find that original Robitussin (guaifenesin) is great. For that full body cold thing I'm a NyQuil gal. All that stuff tastes nasty, though. At least the NQ comes in caplets. k

Oh man, I have a cold now too. I'm on the tail end of it, which means I'm coughing a lot getting all the remaining ick out of my system.

My favorite cold helpers are guaifenesin (yay zoom zoom!) and my neti pot, which helps get all the stuff clogging my nose out. I actually use my neti pot year-round but I'm impressed with how clear it's kept my head during my cold. Lots of honeyed hot water/tea too. I'm not much for the meds. And if I can't sleep, sometimes I'll just drink a glass of scotch. Roll eyes

	Popping Zicam/Coldeeze combination during the days (with Halls vitamin C), and NyQuil at night. Hopefully, that will knock it right out.

I eat 2 cloves of garlic straight with a lemon chaser and lots of water. That's it. Not tried the Guinness technique, though.

	Hmmm...as a drinkable med I'm all about the hot toddy! My dad used to make those for us when we were teenagers (on, Wisconsin!) and would get really sick. Nothing clears the head like whiskey, lemon juice, hot water, and honey. Great for that sore throat and body aches, too. k

	Tumeric powder mixed in honey works wonders for a sore throat. My Indian MIL introduced me to it & for temporary relief it works as well as any OTC remedy.
