I know the feeling... Whenever I feel a cold approaching, I take loads of Vitamin C (up to 4 g a day), and some immunity booster (I take Septilin, 6 pills a day, divided in 2 doses - the recommended dosage is 4: 2 pills twice daily, but when I feel I'm getting it, I take more) and some nose drops, called "First Aid", that make me nose really really runny for a couple of hours, but they claim to prevent the installation of the cold, and from my experience, I tend to believe that. Also, drink lots of liquids (hot chamomille tea with honey and lemon is the best, chamomille is a known natural antiseptic) and don't exert yourself. I also tried some homeopathic remedies, like Oscillococcinum from Boiron, which you can also take after the cold/flu has fully developped, and it's supposed to help you get rid of it faster. Hot baths are also efficient. Stay in a warm room, and try to get as much sleep as you can, to allow your body to recharge with energy and fight against the germs. Gesundheit! |
