Answers:
Fluids don't really help you get over a cold, they just help you feel more comfortable during it. My Mom always used to say, "A cold lasts about 14 days if you treat it, about 2 weeks if you don't." The premise being that colds are gonna last as long as they're gonna last. All you can do is manage the symptoms as best as you can. Fluids, yes water and juice (clear fluids, not milk, etc. so much) work by thinning out the mucous that is clogging your sinuses, nose, etc. and get it flowing OUT. It also helps keep fever down by decreasing blood temperature (assuming cold fluids). Both will help you the FEEL better.Health Question & Answer

I heard it flushes your sinus out naturally and hydrates your body to fight the toxins. If your running a fever you must drink allot of fluids. If you find yourself sleeping allot and really fatigued, I would seek a doctor's advice. In the mean time drink non-alcoholic liquidsHealth Question & Answer
