How do you get over a cold type sickness quickly?!
Question:
I have a stuffy nose, an incredibly sore throat, I'm achey all over (it starts in a wave at my head and goes down to my toes), I have headache right where my temples are, I have a dry cough, and the back of my eyes hurt. Anybody have any ideas for relief?
Answers:
Cold/flu-like symptoms can be something else. Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

Lots of sleep ,lots of fluids and stay warm.
Well it has to run its course- there is no cure since a cold is made up of many viruses. But if you need to feel better so you can be active.. Take a Tylenol cold and flu dose and drink orange juice. Vitamin C boosts the immune system to help you fight off sickness. Get rest whenever possible- Rest speeds healing.
Sounds like you have the same thing my boyfriend has. I would take some zinc lozenges (after you've eaten) and try some sort of chicken soup you like and finely chop a clove of garlic into it in the last minute of cooking. Garlic is a natural antibiotic, and zinc helps to destroy the bad bacteria/germs in your throat and boosts your immune system. Those are to help you get well quicker, try Alka Seltzer Cold Plus for the aches and pains, and that should make you feel well enough until you are actually well. Good luck.
Have you tried "Emergen-C" before? I like it very much. It consists of 1000mg of Vitamin C and other minerals. You can buy it at GNC. Put it(powders) in the cold water and it tastes like orange soda. Works wonders, too! Try it and take a good rest. You'll get better!
Zinc tablets (e.g. Cold-Eaze) have been shown to shorten the duration of SOME colds SOME of the time. By the time you are at the stage you are at, it is too late, though.
You may want to consult with your doctor to see if they'd like to test you for Strep (probably unlikely in this case).
Sounds like you have a sinus infection. You may want to try a decongestant designed for such things.
Sounds like the flu maybe you should see a physician, and let them be the judge of relief.
if you take medicine it will last 1 week.
if you do not take medicine it will only last 7 days.
Hi, i also recommend you sleep but before you do take :-
Mix 4 tablespoons of cider vinegar to a gallon of water sip this throughout the day.this is a good tonic for chronic sore throats and aching muscles.Also massage the vinegar into your temples.best of luck
Looks like you need to go see a doctor as soon as possible.Next time if you get the fist sign of cold, like continuos sneezing, before it leads to sore throat and son on like the ones you mentioned, quickly go take raw garlic. You can either sliced it and add in hot soups or just swallow mincedup with warm water, or better still, standby a bottle of garlic pills. It can prevent all the complications of flu sometimes. Good luck trying. Meantime, go see a doctor before your condition gets worse, but of course garlic can help tame them down slightly too now.
