OT: Best Cold Medicine

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Need help. I am under the impression none actually work, they just weaken symptoms which is most likely true.

I'm looking for something to basically knock me out and kick my ass while helping my cough, sore throat, congestion, body aches, and/or etc. Not a good combo.

I've tried sudafed which is my fav. Also dayquil, nyquil, tylenol cold and cough.


Any ever try corcidin? reading some nice reviews on that...

I like thera-flu...

robitussin is good as well..

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Tried that before, just didn't notice much. Then again, I was later diagnosed with walking pneumonia so that explains that

oh shit Pneumonia.. nothing but Dr. prescribed Antibiotics for you buddy & 800mg of Motrin.

My daughter just got over that about a week ago, doc gave her Cefdinir (anti-b) and a low-dosage steroid. children's Tylenol every 4-6 hrs and she was top shape in a few days. drink lots of water or gatorade too.

Well, cold medicines merely treat the symptoms because it's a virus so you can't take a medicine to cure anything. I use Day/Nyquil. NyQuil is the BOMB for bed time.

I like Buckley's. It tastes horrible, but I find it works the best. Taste wise basically all cold medicines taste like crap anyways.

Can't go wrong with Nyquil...I also heard that Alka-Seltzer Cold & Flu works well too (fast acting).

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Went with Coricidin. Will let you know how that works out.

Thanks yins

Best cure for that is just to stay seated. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Never steered me wrong. The Gel Caps, little purple ones. Work for me every time.

I was always a fan of Theraflu. If feeling really bad add a shot of whiskey and some honey to the mixture.

Buckleys

Heroin......

Whiskey and a doobie.

Take a mild dose of whichever pain medication you prefer.

Then a Old school hot-toddy....

Warm-up 1/2 bottle of ginger ale on the stove, either squeeze 1/2 an orange or dump some orange juice into the ginger ale, add 1 tablespoon of sugar. (if you have molasses use instead of sugar) Warm until just before it boils, shut off the heat and pour 2-3 shots of Jack Daniels or your own prefered wiskey into the mix. Soon as it's cool enough to drink, finish it quickly.

Wrap-up and see you in the morning!!! Works great!!!

I use the same remedy (without all the additives of course)

 

[puckhead]

if you go to a doctor, get the codeine cough syrup (they can mix in stuff for stuffy nose, etc)
if not, I like to take a Neo Citron at night, with some rum and honey to sweeten it up a bit.

I very rarely catch a cold. I eat a lot of onion and garlic. When my wife catches a cold, she relieves the symptoms by brewing her special tea. Boil 3 cloves of garlic in 3 cups of water. Strain it and add 1/2 cup of lemon juice from fresh squeezed lemons and 1/2 cup of honey. Stir and drink. Works every time.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Plus if you heat a shot of whiskey it will clear your congestion up guaranteed.
