Favorite Cold Remedies
Among all the ladies and germs at Blogher, I picked up a cold. It made its presence known around 3a.m. Monday and I’ve been fighting it valiantly ever since. Funny how when you have a cold, everyone’s your doctor. I’m following my usual regimen of many cups of tea, Cold Eeze and DayQuil by day, NyQuil by night. No matter what, a cold just takes time. I took half a sick day today, a rarity for me and got some extra rest and a second hot shower.
The Cold Eeze came recommended by a friend whose mom is a nurse. I want to believe it works but the zinc leaves such a horrible taste in my mouth I feel like I’ve been licking a lifeguard’s nose.
What do you do to fight a cold?

You got off easy. I don’t want to tell you what digestive woes I suffered after BlogHer. Not pretty. Anywho, my advice for treating a cold is SLEEP. As much as you can. Your body needs to recover. Speaking of which … I gotta get to bed!

Lots of orange juice, even more water, and copious amounts of chicken soup. Feel better soon!

I have recently become a fan of zicam. i really do think it helps to reduce the severity of a cold. i’m not sure how you would know it, because every cold could be different, or its just in my head.
either way, i use it and it seems to help.
