So I'm beginning to sneeze like crazy and my nose is all runny.

I've drank about three large glasses of water in the past 20 minutes and have eaten a banana.

Any suggestions to hinder the development of this sickness?

...try sleeping too.

Theres no known 'remedy' or 'cure' for a cold.

Paracetamol and stuff like lemsip just slow the process down and DO relieve you for a while, but ultimately you cant be 'cured'. Its a natural process that goes with time unfortunately.

But yeah, Lemsip first. Once the effects come back in force, paracetamol before bed.

Wikipedia said:
It is considered safe for human use at recommended doses, however, acute overdose can cause fatal liver damage, and the number of accidental self-poisonings and suicides has grown in recent years.
Don't go crazy with the paracetamol, because it will cause liver damage if you take it for a long time (a month or so)

Just posting this in case for some reason you have to take it for a really long time. Also:

Wikipedia said:
Paracetamol is extremely toxic to cats, and should not be given to them under any circumstances. Cats lack the necessary glucuronyl transferase enzymes to safely break paracetamol down and tiny fractions of a normal tablet for humans may prove fatal.[49] Initial symptoms include vomiting, salivation and discolouration of the tongue and gums. After around two days liver damage is evident, typically giving rise to jaundice. Unlike an overdose in humans it is rarely liver damage which is the cause of death, instead methaemoglobin formation and the production of Heinz bodies in red blood cells inhibit oxygen transport by the blood, causing asphyxiation. Effective treatment is occasionally possible for small doses, but must be extremely rapid.
Oh dear D:
 
Aye dont take Lemsip and paracetamol at the same time, its effectively an OD as Lemsip is mainly paracetamol anyway.
 
a swift kick to the balls ...your cold will be the least of your worries :E
 
In which case decapitation should help (while silly ideas are on the menu).

Try medicines of some kind. The ones that say they work.
 
Boil some water, put a slice of lemon in, and some manuka honey if you can get hold of it. I guarantee you'll feel much better.

And take some aspirin :)

jebus we dont want to kill the patient, we're not talking about the final cure

man some people use any excuse to kill people ..I use belief in religion, Druckles the common cold ...I think it's clear who's the real monster here /points at Druckles
 
2 pints of Orange Juice - Vitamin C
2 double Espressos - Caffeine
Boost bar - Glucose
Lemsip - Paracetamol
Neurofen - Ibuprofen

Take all those in one go then drink loads of water and eat well for the rest of the day and it'll be gone before tomorrow. I've never had a cold longer than about 2 days thanks to that "cure".

Ooooh, he still wants to live? :p

But I'm sure religion will help. Feel free to burn your patient afterwards.

What are you some kind of hom... :O.. nevermind..






The real cure is to not have such a womanly immune system. MAN UP AND FIGHT THE FOREIGN INVADERS! Pretend the bad germs inside you are communists, and remember stern is right here!
 
Pack your throat with gauze and super glue.
 
You'll just have to rest and drink alot, not much else you can do
 
I once saw Batman crack a thermos full of chicken soup over Mr. Freeze's head. He said it was the only cure for a cold.
 
Couldn't find the sketch from the Armstrong and Miller show where the guy turns into an Alien.

So meh :angry:
