Well, how do you guys treat yourselves when you're ill, catching a cold or suffering from some miner ailments? Do you go see a doctor or just buy some medicine from a drug store nearby? i caught a cold yesterday night and my head ached badly. Then early in the morning i went to a small restaurant and ate a big bowl of noodles with more pepper in it than ever. Luckily, i felt a lot better 40 or 50 minutes later. Have you ever had that experience or are you ready to try it? Maybe doctors would call it food therapy.

Hey Jerry, I'm glad that you're feeling better. When I feel a cold or something coming on I usually don't go to the doctor (I can't afford to go for every little thing), I usually make a good cup of tea, run a HOT bath, steep in it and relax. When I'm done I'll curl up in bed or on the couch with my favorite blanky and a book and relax the day away. It takes awhile but that's my favorite way to take care of myself.

Cold are viral so there´s nothing to do but bear them. I try not to expose myself to changes in temperature, I drink a lot of liquid, specially broth and lemonade.

I drink a lot of water and lemon or calamansi juice and I take a lot of rest. I sleep all troughout the day to give my body some needed rest and if it doesn't cure by the rest I take then I visit a doctor so they can give me some medicine to take.
