Zinc throat lozenges. Taken within one day of the onset of cold symptoms, Zinc in any form shortens the length of time that the cold virus survives in your system.

But hot soup is also awesome, and for a VERY stuffy nose, apply Vics Vapo rub to the outside edges of your nostrils.
@4meAndyou My mom use to make me rub vics all over my chest. 😷😷😷

@Sojournersoul That was on all the commercials when we were children. But putting some of it on a Q tip and ringing it around the outside edges of your nostrils just CLEARS clogged sinuses...like magic!
@4meAndyou rub it on my upper lip,. Lol

@Umile no no the tripple filtered, high proof, smooth shot style that will make you lose your footing after three shots on an empty stomach type! By the time you hit the whiskey, i doubt you will feel its burn 🤣

Chicken soup from scratch. I forget the actual details, but apparently there’s real science behind why chicken soup with bone broth is one of the best things you can do for cold or flu.
@Zaphod42
I was actually thinking about that.
@Zaphod42 The garlic is the magic ingredient, along with the heat of the soup as well.

Hot soup.

Hot tea with lemon and honey.

Drink lots of fluids so you can piss out all of that heat.

I almost forgot. Here's a recipe for you. Get some Halls honey lemon, a tea packet, and a bunch of vitamin C pills. Boil the tea. Grind up the pills in a mortar and pestle, or whatever you've got handy, and put them in the tea. Stir it up really good. Once you've done this, drop one of the Halls in the tea, and sit there with your nose right over the cup while it cools. Breathe deeply. Once the tea is cool enough to drink, do it.
@LordShadowfire
I will try this. Thank you

Hot soup is a good one. Chicken soup in particular. Cliches are cliches for a reason.

Hot orange juice with crushed tylenol, natural theraflu, not that chemical based crap from the pharmacy. My Dad created it when he was a nursing student in the early 70's.
@NativePortlander1970
Sounds magical.
@mindstruggle It tastes good too.
