I am having a really terrible cold right now. My throat hurts when I eat/swallow/drink/laugh and it's getting unbearable. Also, this weekend it's a big party weekend for the city I'm currently in and I will check it out, so temporary boosts are very welcome. I won't do any big night this weekend though, but it would be cool to join my friends and see what it's all about. So far I've tried:

- Aspirins, mostly ibuprofen and paracetamol
- Loads of various teas, with a healthy amount of honey
- Some weird swedish mouth spray that you spray into your throat. Don't know if it's helping really.
- Gurgling salt water
- Gurgling whatever this is

- Drinking a solution of squeezed lemons, hot water, ginger and honey
- Eating vitamin pills
- Resting
- Not smoking (tbh i had one cigarette yesterday )
- Drinking more water than usual

Do you have any miracle cures??? I'd love to add stuff to this list just to make sure I'm giving whatever shit I got a really bad time

Drink all of the orange juice.

Good idea, I'll get onto that immediately. I just came back from a pretty hectic salt water gurgling session, and two Chinese people in my dorm gave me various Chinese medicins for colds, so now I can add that to the list as well

Oh yeah, the infamous fall semester when everyone on campus catches the same shit at the same time.

Glory days.

Yeah, it's exactly that. I might go to town on hooking up with a few annoying people during the festivities just to get something out of it. Like revenge or whatever

Chamomile tea with honey, lemon and dark (non-spiced) rum.

Get under as many heavy blankets as you can and let your fever take over. 24 hour cold cure. Works every time for me.

Lemon Ginger tea with honey and cayenne pepper. DELICIOUS AND GREAT FOR A COLD!

Bed rest and water.

It's too late for vitamin C.
You have a virus, you have to let your body fight it. Give your immune system a chance to overcome it, like Rambo coming out of monastic retreat to murder every commie in sight.
Sorry chief.
But that's how this shit works.

This is a great idea, but GODDAMMIT PEOPLE TAKE THE HINT AND ADD THE RUM

lots of sunny d always works for me.

regular orange juice doesn't for whatever reason.

I reiterate my last comment with an even greater fervor.

(and I only ever drink rum when I'm sick)

Jerking off?

you need ramen
the kimchi flavored bowl of noodles
spice that cold right out of your head

Warm up a shot glass of lime juice, honey and ginger and shoot it back. Do it as much as you need. Definitely helps the throat situation.
