Three words: Garlic, garlic, garlic. [img]smile.gif[/img] It works, trust me. Do as LoA says, get some chicken soup, and lace it liberally with garlic. It stimulates the thymus gland (which is the center of the immune system) and strengthens your body to fight off the "invasion".

If you have a stuffy nose, add some hot pepper sauce to it (not much, depending on how strong a stomach you have). I find that Tabasco works well; a couple of dashes of it. Not only that, but peppers are high in Vitamin C which is great against colds.

Other than that: lots of fluids, and bed rest. Hope you get to feeling better!
