Good morning folks

 

[ShrekDawg]

I feel like there was some cold remedy thing i read, maybe on here?, that was like hot water and a clove of garlic? Is that a real thing? If so, any other ingredients besides garlic? I don't think I could stomach that lol I think I might be getting sick and I'm going away today/all weekend so I can NOT be sick lol

I took some EmergenC that drink stuff last night and having tea now and a hot/steam shower and I might take my asthma medicine or theraflu tea, idk. But i dont wanna take too many chemicals/drugs aha especially that dont really work

And how to make my throat stop hurting for more that 5 seconds!? Pleaseeeee

I tried 2 throat lozenges and also water with honey last night. Works alright but it still hurts ugh

 

[ShrekDawg]

And i barely slept my throar hurt so bad

Don't even get me started on all the good cold medicines that are now banned for OTC sales because of the druggies using them to make whatever it is they decide to kill themselves with.

I resort to Theraflu. It seems to work pretty well, drink it very warm... and quickly, just get it over with.

Hope you feel better Kelsey

That's terrible! I had no idea!

And yeah, I've had it and it works really well! I wasn't sure if I could take it with my asthma medicine though? I am having regular tea for now but I should probably have that

And i actually love mine haha it's delicious! Apple cinnamon flavor! Tastes like regular tea

Thank you!!

Last time I had a cold I experimented ....NO JOKE, booze was way better at calming a cough than anything else. Especially warmed up with a touch of honey.

As to not getting sick...my mom swears by taking a crazy number of garlic capsules.

I like 1/3 a cup of coffee + 1/3 cup of good Brandy + 1/3 cup honey almost hot. When I cough it don't seem as bad and I sleep better.

Too bad I hate coffee and don't drink

Might be worth trying though LOL

And guess I'll have to get some garlic

 

[ShrekDawg]

Sure this is a stupid question but how do you drink without hurting your throat? Honey coats it and helps but I don't want to overload on honey/sugar haha plain water irritates it/makes me cough but I'm trying to force it down :/

Warm honey in booze...second sip it feels better.

There Are Some numbing Cough drops
