what is the quickest way to get rid of a cold?


Question:
What is the quickest way to get rid of a cold? How long do colds usually last? And what can you do to help prevent from getting one or is it just the weather?

Answers:
Take an immune system booster like Emergen-C. I use Emergen-C when I first start to feel congested, and it really helps. It's full of vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin C and Zinc.

If you have chest and throat congestion or pain, drink mint tea and/or green tea (I like to make a big cup with one bag of each.) The mint tea really helps to cut congestion, and the green tea is full of antioxidants to fight the cold off.

To prevent getting a cold, the best thing is to wash your hands a lot. It can make your hands feel chapped when the air is cold, but it's worth the payoff to not get sick as often!
i dunno but everyone has a cold these days
