I woke up tonight with a head cold, and a fever.
So what do I do? I get high and start drinking any alcohol in the house I find..
I feel much much better!
How do you treat your cold?

Speaking of a real common cold cure, they say it's uncurable because it constantly mutates... but isn't there anything that all strains have in common that we could strike?

dont laugh,but i pound down a bottle of nyquil,a couple of beers,maybe some captain morgan....hangover in the morning,but,voila..by the afternoon..no cold.
me thinks the alchohol burns it out of you,and the nyquil lets you sleep the sleep of a zombie while your body burns it up..
works for me.

bottle of vodka usually knocks it on the head for me.
Straight from the freezer into the belly.
After 1/2 a bottle, you'll be thinking, "What cold? I feel fucking GREAT!!"

True, you can't cure cold. But vitamin C makes you feel better. (+rest and drinking lot of fluids)

Nope. The "common cold" is actually a group of illnesses that all cause more or less the same symptoms. They are not one illness that has constantly mutated, and therefore cannot all be cured. You are correct about the mutation, but it is the sheer number of diseases that all end up causing the same symptoms that prevent it from being cured.

You know, like thery do when there's avian flu or hoof and mouth disease in animals.
