Colds

Unfortunately this week I came down with a cold. It wasn't a very serious cold just some sinus congestion and a bit of a sore throat. While it wasn't I did try and do everything possible to get over it as quickly as possible. This got me thinking about what other people do to try and 'heal' themselves from colds. For me I use Vick's vapor rub to help clean up my sinus's which my girlfriend had never heard of and thought I was incredibly strange for doing. This seemed odd to me as I had been using Vick's my entire life. When ever I would get sick at all as a child the bottle of Vick's would come out to make me feel better. Another tool in my get quick arsenal was my bag of Halls. This was something else that my girlfriend thought was strange as she had never used them. My dad has always broken out the bag of Halls whenever I had a sore throat and its been kind of a crutch when my throat hurts. My final trick in my arsenal was hot tea. This really helped with both my stuffy nose and my sore throat. This is one that seems almost universal as everyone I have talked to has either suggested that or commented that it was a good idea. Last year when I'm almost positive that I had swine flu it was these three things that definitely got me through that. Im curious what other people do to help fight off their colds. Tell me in the comments how you try to make yourself feel better when you're sick.
