    Early nights are a must. For the sore throat, try gargling a glassful of saltwater (about 2 tablespoons of salt in pure water-don't swallow it!) for a few minutes, then finish with Lemsip, Benilyns etc, or tea with honey in it. For the runny nose, try a nasal spray (from your local pharmacists) like Nasonex, or keep a tissue with a nasal rub to clear up the sneezing. Try to relax, wrap up warm, and don't worry about it ! :)

    I have a little remedy that I like to use when I get sick. I drink a Monster XXL energy drink (Loads of B vitamins) Also a half gallon of Simply brand Orange or Apple Juice (Vitamin C out the wazoo as well as other things your body is using) , Some NyQuil (To relax you and relieve sinus pressures), and Bed rest (You know you need it). Believe it or not, this isn't a troll, I use this every time I get a *little* sick because I can't afford to get a real cold. Try it!

    Plenty of fluids, rest as much as possible,aspirin for fever and some folks swear by large doses of vitamin c at least 1000 mg per day.
    If you develop a cough, rub vicks generously on the soles of your feet and wear socks to bed.
