nyquil and dayquil usually work wonders for me but beware of the taste. use aspirin if you have a headache and even some motrin might help. tylenol usually sucks ass lol atleast when i have a cold.

NyQuil in the Original "Green Death" flavor is my wonderdrug.

My recipe for getting better:
- Before I go to bed I take a serving of NyQuil with 2 Tylenol Extra Strength
- When I wake up I take 2 Tylenol (I'll take DayQuil only if I'm really miserable) and supplement it with 2000-3000 mg of vitamin C (yes, that's a lot, but don't worry since you can't OD on vitamin C, the excess you don't absorb goes through your urine; vitamin C boosts your immune system).
- If symptoms persist during the day, take as much Tylenol as the bottle recommends.
- Warm/Hot Chicken soup actually helps
- hot tea
- Repeat cycle until better

Those things will heal any common cold/fever.

I had a really bad cough like a month ago. I swaer it lasted like a month so I was swiggin Dayquil/Nightquil constantly. Like a bottle every couple of days.

It was kinda cool because I felt kinda sedated all the time like shit didn't matter. Didn't help my cough at all though, it just wore off naturally I guess.

What? there isn't that much:

NyQuil, Tylenol, Vitamin C and two food recommendations. It'll cost you $10 bucks max

Won't harm you a bit. No chance.

Take Nyquil, drink a ton of gatorade, and sweat the fucker away.

Seal yourself from the neck down in a garbage bag, and wrap all that up in a blanket. You'll cook the bad shit inside you in 3 or 4 hours. Make sure you stay hydrated.

Gettin' yur dick sucked is the best thing for that... ooops, that's a fever. It doesn't neccessarily take away the problem, but you're so lost in ectascy that you forget about the shit all together. I was pretty out of it a week or so back, was bitching about this or that and my GF just said "Lay back and shut up", popped Mr. Happy into her hungry mouth and BAAAAAAAAM!!!!!! Forgot all about my fever, and my headache went away too. Old Marvin Gaye knew a thing or two when he sung about "Sexual Healing". So tell your other half to go down south.
