How to Kick a Cold in 24 Hours

me watching this with a cold the day right before i leave for basic training 😭

Damn so we all have important days tomorrow but we’re sick 🤕

The only reason I go to sleep early when I have a cold is because it gives me more time to stay up blowing my nose lol

Everytime I feel a cold coming on I come back to this video. “Live to fight another day”

Me watching this knowing damn well I won’t do most of it

I’m watching this when I’m sick who else? :) Edit:wow ty for all the like I never got this much!

I went 2 years without getting a cold and now BOOM I have one 😒 (edit- 4 months later and I'm back again with another cold. Damnit)

At the first hint of a cold, I come out of the gates storming... At 4 hour intervals I do 2 things... First, I alternate between gargling salt water and using a neti pot until all of slime has been evacuated from my nasal cavity and throat. Basically, I give the cold zero place for refuge, and the earlier on I do this the better the results. And two, after blowing out the nose and throat with the salt, I drink alka seltzer cold/flu... daytime for the day and nigh time for night. And MOST importantly, do the routine before you go to bed, once in the middle of the night, and once in the morning. Do not allow the cold to re-establish itself while you sleep. And for good measure, even after I no longer feel cold symptoms, I do 2 or 3 more rounds of the treatment for good measure. And throw in some vitamin C. I must stress the importance of getting used to using the neti pot... If you just gargle salt water 9/10 the stupid cold will migrate into the nasal cavity and establish itself there... And if a parent (or whoever) ridicules you for using a neti pot, pay no attention to them they aren't the ones getting sick.

Btw exercise helps clear your nose, but for me it just switched which side i could breath on, push ups clear it faster

Ah watching this at exactly 4:00 in the afternoon, time to go for a walk!

As a retired pharmacist, I always notice it takes a week to clear a cold by treatment and 7 days if you let it take its course.

Trying to get rid of this cold before my wedding on Saturday 😅

Not me cramming for cold remedies right before my Caribbean Christmas vacation 😩😩😩😩haven’t been sick in 2 years dodged Covid and I catch a cold (negative Covid test) 4 days before my trip 😩😩

All of these things are helpful during a cold, but you won't be kicking a cold in 24 hours from this. It takes time. One thing that knocks out a sore throat in 12 hours and gets rid of the discomfort almost immediately is colloidal silver. One teaspoon under the tongue for 30 seconds do a little gargle then swallow do that three times in one day

I always get a cold on the days I’m looking forward to the most 😡😡😡😡

i love him!!

Me watching this after catching a cold 2 days before my first date 🤦‍♂️

Here's how i do it: First sign of a cold, say you get that weird scratchy, dry feeling in your throat whenever you swallow, its not sore but you feel something, that's post nasal drip, take liquid tea theraflu, it has guaifenesin in it, get the kind that is just for chest congestion and cough, nothing else, sip it, along with lots of water. Keep drinking water, have a stuffy nose instead? Afrin nasal spray works like a freaking charm!! BUT you can only use it for 3 days max cause it is damaging to your membranes and if used too much it can make it worse) I use afrin cause oral decongestants and things like dayquil make my stomach hurt. Also I sip peppermint and ginger tea. And also sleep with a humidifier especially if you have a cold in the middle of winter like I do.

1:56 I got myself a whole cooking show :) nice thing to watch when I have a cold 🤧

I like this action plan. Doing something makes me feel better than just waiting for it to pass, even if this stuff only improves how you feel a little bit.
