OJ and two Advil before bed always made me feel better. I've also taken Emergen-C with decent results. If anything, it made my symptoms less severe.

I always take 1000mg vitamin C if I start feeling sickie.
It usually helps!

Oil of oregano, and zinc lozenges. I swear by them.

Same boat as you! Yesterday the back of my throat and nasal airway felt so swollen and gross, then I had just a terrible night of sleep!

I hope you get over it quickly! For a sore throat, gargling apple cider vinegar with warm water works wonders- but it is absolutely disgusting.

@Mrs. Pen: Yeah, it's a powerful, natural anti microbial. Many hospitals are using it to clean and prevent the spread of things like C. Difficile.

@Mamaof2: You can get it at the health food store. It's pricey but lasts quite awhile and works, so it's worth it to me! It usually comes in a small bottle with an eye-dropper. I put four drops under my tongue and just leave them there for about 20 seconds. Then, I take a small sip of water, swish it around my mouth and gargle a little bit. I do that about four times a day when I feel a cold coming on. Make sure if you take it that you take probiotics along with it (not at the same time though...stagger them through the day) because it can kill your good gut bacteria too.
