I have an actual cold for the first time in about four years. What are some of your favorite remedies?

Thanks! I don't really have a stuffy nose as it all seems to be draining into my lungs (yummy) but I'm gonna try a Claritin to see if it helps

Good luck, if thin drainage is troubling you, that might help even if you're not the mucus faucet that I turn into. Mostly it's just treat the most annoying symptoms and let your body heal.

Thank you so much for this tip! I took some knock-me-out nigh time meds and noticed they had an antihistamine, so this morning I took a clairitin.

My sinuses are clear and draining well, and my ears unclogged as well. I’d call it a miracle if I didn’t know it was science.
