What is your cold/flu medicine of choice?

For nearly 30 years I just use lemons and hot water and hot peppermints. Never used medicines for colds - don't really need a doctor or chemist or similar. Then just rest up in bed...

Personally, there is not an over the counter medicine that will work for me. When I have a cold or flu, I tend to head straight to my doctor and request a sinus cocktail shot. I know that most wouldn't do this for a cold, but 100% of my colds end up becoming a sinus infection within a day or two. Second, I always ask for either zyrtex or allegra and a cough syrup.

In fact I don't have medicine when I get a cold... I still remember that once our teacher told us the survey shows it will take you five day to recover if you have some medicine. While if you don't have medicine, it will take you a week to recover... Just all the same, so medicine is not needed... Well.I don't know whether it is true. But for me, a cup of hot and sweet water is Ok.

Hello! whenever i have a cold, i take a cup of strong black tea added with bay leaf and ginger.it refreshes the body and mind. normally i take 5/6 cups of this tea at regular intervals,and i get relieved of cold or flu.but no medicine i prefer.please try this next time when effected of cold. thanks a lot.
