What's your favorite way to kill it quickly?

I went to work yesterday and I'm going to go again tomorrow but today I'm at home with my tea, chicken soup, and lots of tissue.

    Theraflu always works for me.

    and if you go to their web site, you can get a coupon! :)

    A bottle of whiskey always did the trick for me back in my harder drinking days.

    Now I load up on massive amounts of nyquil
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Thanks libragirl. I should get some of that airborne so I have it in the house for the next time I'm exposed to something like this.

    i know a lot of people think it's hogwash, but it really works for me...trick is to take it right away. I wasn't sick all last winter and so far not this one (knocks on formica) :D

    http://coldeeze.com/ - they don't get rid of a cold but they definitely shorten it and reduced the symptoms greatly....the other thing is rest....if possible, i never do anything but lie around and sleep when i first get a cold...it also shortens the life span of the cold :)

    are those the lozenges? they really didn't work for me, airborne is so much more effective. But i guess everyone is different

    ALL the stuff mentioned....I use hot towels on my face w/vicks vaper rub. I've actually been home the last 2 days from work with an upper respitory infection. I hope I'm better for Super Bowl Sunday, screw work

    You know, when Airborne first came out, I felt like I found some secret remedy, and it always works for me. Even though, within the last few years, it has come out that Airborne is little more than quick dissolving vitamin C tablets.
    But it still works for me. It's the first thing I go get when I feel like I'm starting to come down with something.
