Vitamin C, plenty of fluids, antihistamine whenever I go out. I avoid all-in-one cold medicine and treat symptoms separately.

I read some studies that have proved that if you use zicam consistently, it will harm your sense of smell. I used to use it all the time and have stopped, because I like all of my senses lol.

I have heard that rubbing a little olive oil on the inside of your nostrils when you are sick or getting sick can really help. I guess the point is that if you are already sick and blowing your nose a lot, your nose gets really irritated and the olive oil will help sooth it. Also, if you are getting sick, the oilve oil is supposed to moisturize the skin inside your nose, because cracks in the mucous membrane in your nose is where many germs get in, so the olive oil is supposed to minimize the cracks.

I don't get sick much, but when I do, I avoid medications. I'll get lozenges if my throat is sore or something and I will avoid foods and liquids that are irritating. My mom always drinks tea with honey in it. She swears it helps.

Cayenne peppers produce lots of heat, which helps with vasodilation to enhance blood circulation, makes you 'sweat out' the fever, reduce pain, relieve symptoms of indigestion, and reduce congestion to name a few.

I sleep a lot. I work through it, honestly. And when I'm not working, I sleep. If I have a sore throat, gargling with apple cider vinegar is awesome.
