What do you do when you get the common cold?

[Bollocks#999]

Me? I try and stay inside, keep warm and suck down some Vitamin C, and sit in front of the computer

anyone else?

 

[ND4SPD]

I rarely get a cold but if I do, I stay inside and eat some nice warm soup while watching tv or sitting in front of the computer screen. Either that or I just go to sleep.

 

[Ghost C]

Chicken ramen noodles, cooked in 1 cup water 1 cup hot sauce, with a spoon full of cayenne powder and liberal amounts of crushed red and black pepper on top.

'Course, not many people can eat that, but it helps like nothing else.

i rarely get a cold, but when i do i sit infront of the t.v. or computer and enjoy the moment. And i find that water really helps.

Peanut butter and cheese sandwiches and hot chicken soup is the best. Peanut butter was once thought as the cure for the common cold. I also stay warm in a thick blanket, and try to sweat out the cold.

Vitamin C, zinc and vitamin E & A are usually take, even if they really don't do anything beneficial once you get a cold.

I take some Tylenol cold, and use the cold as an excuse to stay home and watch tv/play on the computer all day. Unless the cold is really bad, I normally wait it out.

 

[AP1]

Take some Tylenol Cold and make Ramen Cup Noodles. Stay in, and use this excuse to not to do my chores.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Nothing.

 

[Event]

I take Wal-Dryl, Benadryl(sp?) is too expensive

 

[daan]

I just get a lot of snotters.

 

[Famine]

Masturbate.

Hey, why change the daily routine, just because you're a little ill?

 

[ExigeEvan]

One of your more truthful moments, Famine.

Pop a chewy Vitamin C tablet thing (for kiddies) and drink apple/orange juice through the day. And if I'm really blocked up have a weak chile/curry.

But I only do this when it is really bad.

 

[emad]

basically, I do nothing 👍

 

[halfracedrift]

Nothing really. Just continue regular daily routine.. just harder to do things

 

[ledhed]

I get naked and chase my wife around while I wear my "anti cold "wooly cap and sacrifice chickens to the germ warfare gods. jack Daniels kills germs dead.

 

[Darin]

I say "oh **** I got the cold."

and then I do everything I usually do.

 

[Roo]

Keep a packet of tissues with me at all times. Otherwise I just keep on doing the same old things.

 

[Der Alta]

Progresso Chunky chiken noodle soup, add a can of chicken, 2 cubes of bullion, two good spoonfulls of garlic. Eat that.

Then wash down 3 aspirin with a double shot of Jack Daniels.

Sleep for 12 hours. Sweat like lawn sprinkler.

Get up next morning change sheets and on with the day.

That recipe usually kills the cold the first night.

Life goes on. I just stock up on tissues and fully utilise my excuse to whine about anything; from why our cricket team is sucking to why the batteries in the TV remote are flat.

Then at work I will make special trips to people I dont like, and breathe all over them in some pointless conversation I will start.

 

[cardude2004]

I usually sit inside in front of my computer with a box of kleenex.

 

[Robin]

Drink those vitamin C dissolve in water tablets
Sit in a comfy chair in front of the TV.....(computer would give me a head ache)
Wrap in a blanket
Eat nothing.....just drink hot water (although you should really eat something)
Generally moan!
Think about all the rubbish work and school stuff I have to do whist im dying!

 

[DoZeRxXx]

what do you guys classify a cold as?
runny nose and sore throat... then i usually just ignore them. both of them are my casual everyday winter thing. my sore throat usually goes away as i wake up, i think it is just one of them things i get because i was so cold when i sleep. then my stuffy nose i just casually suck it in until i get a chance to go outside.

anything worse than what i mentioned above i usually just try to ignore it. most of your problems are all in your mind. you can ignore/block out being tired when your workin out/running, and you can block out a headache or some minor sickness.

 

[xAkirax2004]

Well, In fact, I have a cold now. Just a nose cold. Nothing special. But when that happens, I carry a bottle of that nose spray along with me. Clears it up for 10-12 hours. 👍

Other than that, I really do nothing.

 

[heero 12]

Plug my nose and pray for sleep.
