How To Cure A Cold?

While my mood has improved a lot since Monday - that day was just a big black hole that I'd rather forget about as soon as possible - I have caught a cold, and I really, totally, utterly do NOT have time for that right now! I am doing everything I can think of - anybody got any "instant-cold-cures", I be more than greatful!!! - but I know that basically I just have to let it run its course. Unfortunately, it's not quite that easy ...
I still have deadlines upon deadlines upon deadlines, and nobody will postpone anything just because I have a runny nose, a headache and fever!! So this is a bit of a problem right now! I know it doesn't get better if I keep whining about it, but I find it difficult to just shrug it off as well. In Hebrew we have come so far, that I really need to keep up now, if I'm gonna get something out of this "double-act" that I'm pulling right now, and we've just started the New Testament course, it would be nice to not fall helplessly behind after the second lecture! There are also two seminars and some kind of strange "group-exam" (as well as a written one) on that course, and I more and more feel like I really, really want to avoid all these "alternate solutions" I've been looking for for so long ... but I can't go through with something like that if I'm not prepared ... and to prepare I need time - and energy - and not quite so high a fever ...
And here we go - I am back to whining!!

I guess I should just quit this entry before it becomes even more insane (guess I can always blame it on the fever though, right?! *lol*)!!
Yes, this cold constitutes a problem right now, but fact of the matter is - if it's nothing worse then getting a cold, I really shouldn't complain about anything!!!
So there!!

aw...so sorry to hear you're sick!! Hope you'll feel better soon!!

As for instant cold cures...
Esberitox works great for me...I've managed to kill a very bad cold in less than 24 hours with it...and it always cuts down the symptoms and makes it go away faster....bad part is it's a little expensive AND I'm allergic to it... (it makes my asthma much worse...so now it has to be something VERY important to make me take it, but earlier I've used it a lot)...

Nosespray is great (of course)...drink plenty.....lots of rest.....vitamins... you know the drill ;)

Of course I tend to try to cure pretty much everything with icecream and a Disney movie ;) Often works ;)
