Throat ache and cleaning is the use I know for it.

Hmm, I'll have to keep that in mind. I've always just ate a ton of mints, but licorice would be a nice change.

Something strong, like vodka, works better.
Drink lemon juice directly taken of the fruit (put a knife in the middle, point the knife to your throat, squeeze the lemon and ta-da) and then drink a looong sip of whater drink you choose. Works in one to two days, as long as you do this everytime your throat starts to ache again.

Open mouth, insert knife. It is to direct the lemon's juice in a continuous flow and you don't get all dirty and sticky.

And adds some danger to the thing. xD

I'll live life on the edge with my butter knife. I really want to give this a try. Maybe throw in a lime, too.

Or an apple, maybe even a coconut! (Really though, fresh coconuts are kinda cool to drink from)

Never had the pleasure to drink straight from a coconut... or even plain coconut juice now that I think of it. Apples, on the other hand, are nasty unless accompanied by tons and tons of caramel.

So to tie this all into the topic. The perfect remedy for a cold is a mixed juice of lemon, lime, coconut, and apple stirred with a nice piece of licorice and a mint on the side. Guaranteed to to work 50% of the time, every time! Or your money back!

Nope. only lemon. Because it's acid. It may not make sense, but it worked last time we needed it. xD

Cold:
The only vaccine is being an idiot. Time is the only sure cure. (There's many so called cures- but the thing is NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO you will get better within 1-7 days almost all the time anyway. Correlation is not equal to causation. Be careful with that as some can be harmful)

Sleep and plenty of liquids is help you not get dehydrated or fatigued (which is more likely to happen during a cold).

Ant-ihistimines, and painkillers (couple of other drugs I forgot too) can help releave symptoms such as pain, runny nose etc- as well as help you sleep. Get one of those all in one cold medications from the chemist. All the brands are basically the same.

Flu:
Though you can not cure the flu once you get it, you can get vaccines which are quite effective and highly recommended. (Especially since it not only helps you but the people around you too as you don't become a carrier.)

If you get a flu it's a good idea to go to the doctor. The flu can be quite serious. Definitely go if you have any kind of fever.



Also:
Asking for medical advice on a forum is a bad idea.
Especially an anime forum -_- wth

If it is a regular cold without the sore throat - I'll jog/run. Clears up nasal passages~~

Sore throat/fever - I don't and just rest.

What is the flu@@;? I've had chills before, but it was from another condition, but I just wrap myself in as many blankets as I can.

I sleep a lot, take way more showers than necessary to get rid of snot, and drink a lot. I also eat salty things to help scrape the shit off the back of my throat. Mostly I just drink though, I kind of lose my appetite but get really thirsty when I get sick.

Oh also I get these crazy cravings for random shit (I have no appetite for anything beyond these random cravings) like frozen waffles or orange juice, so I just eat whatever sounds good. I definitely get better faster if I just do whatever my body wants.

Stay away from milk unless you want to incur the wrath of phlegm. Your throat will hate you if you go near dairy.

The same stuff I do everyday. Surf the Internet, Play Video Games, Watch Anime, & then go to bed.

Colds and the flu never affect my daily activities. I just wipe my snot off onto the sleeve of my shirt and carry on with whatever I was doing. XD

The only time I was ever really ill was when I was an infant.

Hm. That makes..sense. Now that I think of it, handkerchiefs probably have a higher absorbency than tissues. You're also saving trees by not using tissues.

So when your done with it you just put the "Snotty" handkerchief back in your pocket and take it home to wash? I'll kill a few trees if it means being more hygienic and not having to keep used tissues in my pocket.
