How to get over colds and cough in an immediate effective way?
It has been almost 1 week since I have this colds and just today it's now being accompanied by cough with phlegm and it really irritates my throat every time when I'm coughing, and I believe fever is getting close too 'coz I'm kind of feeling it already, but God forbid it won't happen. I don't want to feel sick when Christmas comes :=(
So guys, if you won't mind me asking about some of your ideas or suggestions of what I need to do or some kind of effective medicines that I need to take to make this sickness go away. It would be much appreciated, thank you'll 'n advance!

Hi mel it's always better to consult a doctor and take his advice . I can suggest some simple home remedies which you may try .Take hot water vapor two times a day and bite ginger pieces to get over the throat irritation . Gargle with lukewarm tea extract or saline (salt) water .
All the best and get well soon before Christmas

I am not sure whether there is something that can make it go away immediately. I hate having those as it took me weeks or 1 month to recover. So as much as possible I hate catching colds and coughs. Good thing only headaches and body pains is coming every now and then to me lately, 'though never a good thing still... But maybe you can try to drink more water, preferably not the cold one. And drink cough syrup. Sometimes I also drink tea and put drops of lemon with honey on it. Or just drink hot water in the evening. Hope you get well soon!

Thank you!
I really didn't expect this sickness, was just thought few days ago it's simply just a sneezing reaction but then that next day I start feeling some throat irritation and which is followed by colds, then now cough...but fever, I hope not! :-)
But anyways, thank you for your suggestion...I'll take that hot water drink before bed tonight, thanks! :-)

I won't let my colds to get worse because if I do cough or sore throat will follow and sometimes flu or fever. So, the first time I sense the symptoms of cold like runny nose and I sneeze often I would start doing something to cure my colds. What I do is to build my immune defenses. I would start taking vitamin C tablets and drinks lots of fluid and eat citrus fruits. I also use cold rubs or Vicks to take away the discomfort and stuffy nose. Then I would also drink cold medicines, I like using Decolgen because it does not just dry my colds and I get much relief. I take a lot of rest because I really don't want to have a cough.

Hi mel, so so sorry that you are not feeling well..But my
very best advise would be go to the doctor..I have recently
had a friend of mine and your granddaughter go to the doctors
after not feeling well for over a week...Her grandaughter went
one week then see went the following week..
They both was diagnoised with walking pneumonia...That nothing
to play with...Not trying to alarm you but let me tell you from
experiences ..Its better safe than sorry....
Get to the doctor and feel much better soon...

To keep coughs, colds and flu at bay I make sure that I take an adequate supply of vitamin D every day. Everybody has different needs, but I take 2,000 IUs each day. I also eat oily fish such as mackerel. There is a lot about coughs, colds and flu avoidance on www.mercola.com. I registered with the site several years ago and have found some invaluable health advice on there. _Derek

for fast cough relief, you should visit your doctor, a month ago i had a bad cough that lasted for a week, i tried every home remedy i know and also 2 brands of cough medicine but it didn't go away. i went to the doctor and he prescribed antibiotics and in two days, i got better.

Hiii,i'm a chinese.i'm sorry to hear that you get cough and fever,in particularly the Christmas is being come to.
my parents are also get those hating thing recently and the sickness of my father is serious day by day,it's very pain in his throat and sometime cramp where in his foot,my mother runny nose and get handache in a long time.i ask they to drink more warmly water as possible as they can and do not too late to sleep.
because it's winter season now,so you should do more excercise in every day,it's far better than you to spend money on medicines,like runing,riding etc which you can do it no possible.it's my opinions,i hope you can restoration and enjoys a happiness time in Christmas········
