Answers:
i find that "sweating it out" works wonders for me. i've sweat it out through things that most doctors would recommend rest for (bronchitis!!!) but it seems i get better more quickly by pushing through.

the general safety and health guide line is that if your problem is from the neck up you can workout, if it's below the neck you need to rest (flu like symptoms: achey, queesey... etc, or cold in your chest)

personally i follow that, with the exception of the chest cold, i still push through. Health Question & Answer

Exercising isn't going to help your cold, but it's not going to make you worse either. It might help you psychologically because you will get distracted from feeling bad which won't happen if you're just lying around. If you don't feel too bad, go for it! It's a total myth that you need to stay in bed the whole time you are sick.Health Question & Answer

If you feel sick, your body is tellin you to take it easy! I suggest go have some chicken noodle soup with fresh garlic and go take a nap.Health Question & Answer
