Breathing while you sleep with a cold!!!
Gretta in Anytown, AT 55555 -
I know this sounds really gross, but if you eat Vicks Vapor Rub (just a little) you will be able to breath. It also helps with a cough. Sounds nasty but it really does work. At first I didn't want to but my dad made me, and it worked really well!

Chicken Soup
Zaki in Macedonia -Chicken soup seems to help a lot. You can buy it from stores, or you can prepare it at home. It helps body's immune system and it has anti-inflammatory properties. Always works good for me.

Irritated/Inflamed/Sore/Coughing Throat
Danyal in London, UK -It's simple and very very very effective, almost works instantly.... for best results take before entering bed to go to sleep, and DO NOT drink any water or other liquids after it.
Here it is ..... enjoy and get well quickly.
(1). Get an empty drinking glass and put in a tablespoon full of honey ONLY (anytype of honey)
(2). Slice of a 50pence piece size of FRESH ginger, about the thickness of your pinky (small finger)
(3). Now squeeze and press that piece of ginger, untill you have all the liquid you can get out of it (use a small plate and a large spoon to do this), then put the ginger liquid into the same glass with the honey in it.
(4). Put half a teaspoon of Black pepper powder into that same glass, and mix all the three together. (Honey/Ginger Liquid/Black Pepper).
(5). Pour the mixture into a Large spoon and slowly swollow it down, making sure you take a small bit at a time, like sucking a piece of toffee. Finish the whole amount and DO NOT drink any other liquids or water to try to get rid of the taste, the taste will be gone in about 5 mins.
The ginger and pepper are pretty strong in taste, so dont be put off. This is a very old, time tested remedy with all natural parts, it works wonders and does NOT have any adverse effects whatsoever. Ask your granny or grandad they will tell you so. Get well soon.

Cold kicker
T . Hudson in Brownsville, Tn - The south!!! -My remedy is to drink lots of fluids to avoid fever and dehydration, take vitamin c, take a hot bath, put on warm clothes, and plug up the humidifier and sweat it out. Wake up the next day with more fluids and more vitamin c. I give my kids vitamin c starting in june each year in order to build up their immune system for the following winter. Rest properly whenever possible and eat lots of fruits and vegetable each day.
