What's New in Cold Cures?

[DuneLaker]

I don't get sick often, but a cold has been bothering me the last few days. What is new in cold cures? Someone suggested Scotch.

I was going to suggest vodka, but scotch could work I guess. I also stand by my tried and true cure-all...Vicks. Mucinex seems to help too. Feel better soon!

Dune Laker, take a look at this:

I read in last week's newspaper that ginger tea is a a good cold remedy so I googled it and came up with this. I guess it works. (or maybe it's the remedy that follows the ginger tea )

I vote for Mucinex too...there are a few different kinds to choose from. My dr used to prescribe this for me before it went over the counter. It really helped my sinus infections.

Also a nasal rinse will do wonders.

Long hot bath and a hearty steak dinner washed down w/ a glass of milk!

No Scotch - if necessary drink a screwdriver.

I had a friend fix me a "toddy" made with burbon, sugar and lemon. I don't remember if it made me feel better but I had a really nice nap!!!

I vote for the neti-pot and the hot toddy.

How'd the blue label work out?

What's the over counter meds that is fairly new. They say take it as soon as the cold symptoms are noticed...a friend took the cold med. and she felt great within two-three days. I just can't think of the name. I will call her.
