How to get rid of colds...?!
Question: I've been sick for the past week and a half and it's miserable. How can I relieve my cold? I have a stuffy and runny nose if that helps. Mostly sinus issues and occasional headaches. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, a cold is a virus...and your body must fight off the virus, so there isn't THAT much that you can do other than:
-drink lots and lots and lots of fluids (water works best because there isn't any sugar content)
-get lots of rest to help your body fight it off
-wrap yourself up in some warm blankets (sweating it out can work wonders)
If the headaches get really bad, tylenol with codine works wonders (although be ready to sleep lots as the codine usually will make you incredibly tired). If you are in the U.S. though, I don't know what would work best because you cannot get anything with Codine over the counter like you can in Canada (I couldn't even believe when I couldn't get even Robaxecet in the States without a prescription!!!!).
Make sure you keep blowing your nose and keeping your nasal passages clear to get rid of the mucus...this is stuffing you up.
sleep, advell, and take it easy.
