I ga' a code

“I woke up Monday with a sore spot near my tonsils. It usually starts that way and then gets into my sinus and then my throat and now my chest with the draining, cogestion, fever, coughing.

What do you take to get rid of a cold?”

“Nothing. It's a virus, you're imune system has to womp it. Meanwhile...rest, fluids, decongestants, analgesics and cough suppressants as needed. BTW, studies show that people who exercise regularly recover from the common cold more quickly and have less severe symptoms than those who don't. Good luck and get better soon!”

“Stop picking up those barroom floozies!”

“You look to a bunch of malcontents that hang out on a website about backpacking for medical advice?

I use Extra-Stength Cyanide.”

“kleety, caplet or liquid?”

“Drink a fifth of scotch. It won't cure the cold, but you won't know the difference while you are passed out.”

“Take some zinc lozenges. They taste horrible, but it'll get that throat cleared up in no time.”

“Tylenol Cold is my drug of choice. Feel better fast and keep yer darn germs to yourself!”

“My favourite is Neocitran, two ounces of gin and hot water. You need to drink it while sitting on the bed because you're not going anywhere after that. If you have a signifcant other, get him/her to bring you a second one before you pass out. He/she can finish it off and won't expect any sex that evening.”

“Herbal tea”

“Holy Crap! Now that is quite the remedy.”

“I wonder if Marvy is into watersports?”

“MG, that sounds just like a snake oil ad from the 1800's. Where do you find this stuff?”

“Take some whiskey or bourbon and pour 2-3 shots in one of those aluminum pie tins. Light. Let the liqour burn off. Pour into glass and drink when cool enough to do so but while still warm. You must do this in the FIRST stage of the cold. I learned this from an old woman and it DOES work.”

“if you have a friend in the medical field, ask him or her for a z-pac,my wife works in the or, and i am a paramedic, i live buy them when needed.”

“Make sure you get a Snake Oil Bottle to keep it in, eh Marvy?”

“flint, aren't you my friend???

...A few folks recommended alcohol. I don't like gin or whiskey so I got some beer. Liquid not caplet.”

“Just think happy thoughts!

Go see a doctor he or she will give you some pills.

You get better then go hiking or backpacking!

Starts out bad ends up good!

“I think the beer helped, but I am very sleepy.”

“Get a bottle of Crown Royal and drop one grain of rice in it, allow it to set for five minutes then drink the broth off of the rice, wont cure the cold but you will forget about it for a few hours.”

“I am bombed out of my skull, but my nose is still runny.

Should I call in sick tomorrow or just tell them I am too hung over to come to work?”

“Ya that helps too!!!!


3 shots of Nightquill that also does the trick!

“You take a sick day or two off from work if you can. Then you shut yourslef in your bedroom, crawl into bed, and take every decongestant known to man and pass out for a couple of days. When you wake up , you longer have the cold. The alternative is to suffer and be miserable for the better part of a week and spread your germs and bad but understandable mood to everyone else.”

“Use a steam room, if you have access to one, or take a lot of hot showers. If you have been sick since Monday, maybe you need to see a doctor.”

“YOUR GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!”

“The beer did not help. A hangover with congestion is very bad.

back to bed.”

“bacpac

A beer, maybe two might handle the hangover. But alcohol and the cold virus will drain your body fluids. I find a small amount of alcohol eases the suffering, along with lots of water and juice.

As for other over-the-counter meds. I find Triamincin (sp) works best for me.”

“I take ibuprofen for fever and headache plus a decongestant, lots of fluids and hot tea for a sore throat.

Z-packs are for bacterial infections, which the common cold is not.”

“bacpac

Hope you're felling better.”

“Go for a nice swim in a cold river or lake.

Be sure to get your head under a lot.

If that don't kill ya, you'll probably survive.”

“Hope you're feeling better bacpac!”
