Colds is just a common illness. I agree to your brother that medicines are not necessary for this since it will just lower your body's immune system by depending on the medicine. I just take a good sleep and drink a lot of water or lemonade with honey in it (not sugar). If still doesn't work then i need to get up and do a light work out just to make my body sweat. Take a hot shower then sleep again.^^;

Dear friend, we have a saying here that if u take medication for cold it will go in 7 days otherwise it goes in a week. Ha.ha.. so better to rest and take vitmin c fluid in good quantity as vit c is good for cold. Take lots of Tulsil leaves and ginger juice. All the best for recovery. LOL

Hi There, From my childhood for cold i used to take Crocin tablet. It is really effective medicine for common cold or fever. Now a days i found Tulsi leaves are also good effective medium for building good immune system.

Yeh, tulsi leaves are very magical. These days i have allergic cold so it instantly goes after i take lot of tulsi leaves. So if tulsi leaves are more effective stop taking crocin from now on. Thanx for responding

I don't really like medicine, especially if the illness can be cure itself. I'll just have enough rest, drink a lot of water and eat well balance meal. My mom likes to make chicken soup if we're sick. I don't know whether it's effective but her love and the warmth from the soup seems to work, in some way.
