Something liquid that is warm and nutrient helps. But you have to constantly consume it or the pain comes back. I think that the warmth just relaxes ur muscles.

Your = possessive. As in, "your grammar sucks."
You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

A hug?

Lots of water and sleep.

Also I've heard it's a bad idea to eat too much sugar while sick. Or any sugar for that matter.

Actually, what most people do is lay in bed, and that form of inactivity slows your metabolism and in turn, slows your immune system, as they're both apart of some system with a weird name that I can never remember. Endocrine? maybe... I unno.

It's actually best to be active, do what you would normally do, except get off the couch! it allows your body to remove the infection faster. Also, many of the medications on the market to fight the 'common cold' are for bacteria or some biological infection. When about 90% of the common colds are virus's. So taking cold medications is actually detrimental to your recovery.

Over hydrating can be a bad thing too.

Steep a wedge of fresh lemon for five minutes with tea and add honey, that does wonders.

^^Do that every single time when i get a cold, that stuff works like magic

Apparently sexual intercourse is a good way of postponing the onset of hypothermia yikes

Re: Winter Illnesses... Your remedies...

for sore throat: cayenne pepper and salt in warm water, gargle. it burns but it works. I used to get strep every year and now when i start feeling the onset i just gargle, takes care of it.

for melancholy: Xanax .5mg.....or pot

Re: Winter Illnesses... Your remedies...

Not really Loz, Nazi experiments on concentration camp prisoners showed that's more of a way to recover from hypothermia, if you have the means to stay warm once you warm up.

If you're getting hypothermia you won't retain the sexual heat.

Re: Winter Illnesses... Your remedies...

Acetaminophen (tylenol), ibuprofen, and sucking on throat lozenges and gargling with warm salt water will also lessen the pain.

Acetaminophen or ibuprofen will help ease the pain and prevent any inflammation from occuring as having a sore throat obviously means you have an infection. If this started in recent days i'd say go to the store, buy some lozenges and suck on those they will give you the most comfort and take acetaminophen to prevent the swelling and speed up the healing process.

Refrain from consuming alcohol and smoking as these will irritate your throat and only make situations worst.
