Anyone unwell with a cold?

Any tips to get rid of it fast?

Rest as much as possible, I have had a terrible cold and slept a lot but depends on your living circumstances I suppose. I ate a lot of homemade soup out of the freezer and drunk a lot of liquids inc hot Ribena.

Yeep.. day four of the bastard so hopefully starting to be on the mend. You've got to rest as much as you can and ALL the water. SO much water! That said, I don't think a cold will ever last less than a week.. but with enough rest and fluids you can feel more functional earlier.

Yup... currently on day 10 since first symptoms and still feel like shit... DP is very annoying in that he somehow manages to shift a cold within 3 days whereas I'm suffering for 2 weeks each time and just get better again before the next one hits. And of course, he's the germ sharer. I always get his colds, he never gets mine. Bastard.

Fucking everyone. My brain is cotton wool.

Me too. No chance of resting to shift it quicker as my toddler is teething and waking every 2 hours.

I hope you all feel better soon.

Thanks all. Hope you all get better soon.

Rest and sleep as much as you can (easier said than done sometimes, I know), lemsips, and lots of water. As much to eat as you can, things like vegetable/chicken soups are good.

Tbh there's not much you can do about a cold .. it's just symptom control and trying to rest to let your immune system do its thing.
