I have a very heavy cold and it's weighing my head down, i can't sleep because I keep chokin gup flem and i can't breathe out my nose. had it for 3 weeks now, so i guess it's actually flu or something!
But my question is to all of you, what do you find to be the most effective treatment for a cold? Olbas Oil? Lemon Drinks? anything you've tried....

True. But you can make it better for the time being.
Stop being such a pesemist. :p |

nah, it's called reality
nothing I've tried in my 23 years has made it any better. There is no cure for the common cold and if I've had a cold longer than 10-14 days, I'd go see the doctor. |

only 3 weeks?
I could not breathe out one nostril for 2 years, one doctor said it was an infection, so I got tired of the problem not going away, I changed doctors and the new one got it right. My adenoids, the tonsils of your nasal cavity had grown to the size of toonies. I had them removed via surgery and I have not had a problem since then
Some colds take longer to get rid of but if it has been 3 weeks and nothing has changed, go see the doctor. |

just drink lots of water, i mean lots of water. once you finish a glass, pour another one and drink that immediately. Just keep flushing your system with fluids.
Orange Juice is good too because it has vitamin C.
Theres also some lozenges that you can buy. I dont know what they're cold in the UK, but here they're called Cold-EZE, and they're drops full of zinc that has beeen proven to reduce the onslaught of the common cold by 50%
anyways, yeah water, zinc, Vitamin C.. if you've got a runny nose, take some Claritin too, it'll work wonders. |

thanks for the reply's so far, some interesting ones!
jus tthought id add in a 'don't' to the list... apparerntly you should cut out dairy prodcuts during a cold, as these actually encourage your body to produce mucus like flem & snot. so i've been told anyway.. |

Recomendations: Dont smoke or drink alcohol it just makes it worst. |
