So do any of you guys have any technique or type of medicine to withhold the symptoms?

I've been drugging myself on Cough medicine and throat lozenges since Monday and haven't been able to get myself in work.

Use zinc and starve it as your body uses lots of energy to digest food, energy it could be using to fight your virus.

Nice idea, One thing that always made me feel better was going to the gyms steam room and sweating it out, It always helped with a blocked nose. But seeing as i've not been the gym for well over a year i doubt i'll be doing that.

My method may sound weird but it tends to work.

Glass of warm water.

Grab a lemon, cut it in half and squeeze it into the water, add salt and honey and stir it and drink it as quick as possible.

It actually helps believe it or not.

Cough medicine and a lot of sleep is pretty much what I do. Thankfully I don't get sick much but when I do I pretty much don't and can't do shit else but sit and rest while taking cough medicine.

Not much you can do. Rest, throat lozenges and ibuprofin to treat any sore throat or headache symptoms. Hot shower (ie the steam that another bloke mentioned) relieves a blocked or congested nose.

I try to sleep as much as possible to let the body heal itself and rest seems to work well. Other than that throat lozenges like Vics Vapor Drops and Strepsils work well for me.

Rest. Wrap yourself in a thick blanket, wear long pants & a jumper, and sweat it out.

Failing that, eat a bowl of curry or chilli, it really clears the system.

Am I the only one who smokes weed when sick? You still feel sick, but you're high so you don't really care.
