Guys, I am asta grastha with the common cold. Does anybody know a cure for it? Or what do you do to relieve the pain and congestion? I have been drinking a whole lotta honey and lemon juice in hot water. I don't think it's helping or maybe it takes time, a few days. Any other suggestions are highly appreciated.. Nepalese home remedies are also welcome.

that's not a feasible option since i live in a dorm. but thanks for trying! my mom never let me drink or eat anything that was cold, but ppl here drink pop and have icecream even when they have a cold.. does anyone know the reasoning behind not having cold foods when you are suffering from the cold?

Even though there is no cure yet, I was able to get rid of cold that I had 3 days ago by rubbing TIGER BALM on the chest before going to bed and lots and lots of Vitamin C (1500-1800 times the daily dose!).

I usually wait for the cold to go away. There isnt simply a cure.

Elpida............donot ask any suggestion.......just relax drink only hot water as much as you can..........no honey etc.........it takes a week for you to get recovered........if the symptoms are irresistible then take some symptomatic treatments like analgesics , antipyretics or decongestants.........if cough.....take cough syrup.........

you donot have to restrict foods..........eat anything that you want even ice creams.......donot forget to drink liters of hot water.............GET WELL SOON

तातो पानी भक भक उमाल र एऔट तपेशमा खान्यौ तिम्रो सिर तपेश नजीक ल्याइ, सिरक वा तौल्याले छोप र तातो पानी को बाफ लियौ । तिमी सँग विक्स् वा स्विचो छ भने त्यो पनि मिसौ, फाईदा हुन्छ । मह्ँ सँग चिया लिएको धेरै राम्रो हो, अलि अलि अधुवा पनि मिसाए फाईदै गर्छ ।

You catch cold because you got infected by a cold virus. Unlike what our mothers to told us, catching cold has absolutely positively nothing to do with being out in cold, eating cold food or not wearing enough clothes.

There is no cure for cold. You just let it pass.

Yes, you do catch a cold not wearing enough warm clothes. Reason? Your body is busy trying to keep warm, and fighting again virus that is lurking around takes a second seat - so to speak. And Boom! You have a cold. That is just one of the reasons...

Now you have a cold and there is not much you can do. Take a plenty of rest, vitamin C and lots of fluid. Eating pops and salad is pure ignorance when you have a cold.

This is a true and tried method - Once you have a feeling you are coming down with a cold - you know gale me khas khas... you take an aspirin, dissolve in hot (bearable) water and gargle. Spit out. Presto! You are as good as new. The reason? Aspirin makes an inhospitable place for your Virus/Bacteria by changing the PH balance.

Prcaution you can take - Start taking vitamins and especiall vitamic C from October/November- the cold season.

Put layers and stay away from cold! :-)

THERE'S NO CURE FOR COLD....but if u want to help relieve the symptoms...take some anti cold tablets .....take in plenty of fluids and rest

Drink hot soup, eat well....take some cold medicine and above all....... have a good sex, believe me that's the best medicine..............

there is no cure for common cold, but if it is due to allergy, take benadryl before you go to bed. if u want alavert or loratidine, take one tablet in a 12 hour period. benadryl makes your drowsy.
take care

You don't go out. You just need to take rest and drink lots of Fluid( water, soup etc) and citric fruits/vit c. If you are having fever then take anti pyretics one tab but don't take more than 4 tabs with in 24 hours. Also you can take Benydryl at night will make you sleep and also get ride with allergies. ut

Thanks to all of you! I am drinking a lot of fluid, hot water and ginger tea and soups, I also got some decongestant.. hopefully that will help. I missed all of my classes today cause it snowed all day long, it's still snowing.. i feel bad, but hey health comes first! I guess I will just have to wait for the cold to go away.

Dherai pida na-mannu. If you follow the advice given here, you will recover in 7 days. Otherwise, it will take you exactly one week. LOL. But a right dose of cough drugs that begin with PH help you forget about the symptom. Dont drink too much of these tho.

does anyone know how to make 'jaulo'? I have fenugreek seeds and rice but I don't know the procedure.

try "thera flu" you can get it at CVS near you
it did worked for me.

Jaulo--

Heat some oil in a pot and when oil is hot put methi ko dana when methi is brown put that socked rice and some besar to give it a nice color add some salt and stir it for about a minute or two and add some hot water and bring it to boil and let it simmer until the rice is very soft cooked.

Note--- If you are cooking one cup of rice add three cups of water or you can also use chicken broth to cook jaulo. it will be taste better with chicken broth.

best cure for cold is: stay in bed, try and have lots of s......e......x

drink warm water. eat lots of spicey food. make a good chicken curry. suck on lots of vicks tablets. but over all cold takes it time to heal.

good luck

Thanks dalli... I am making some jaulo tonight.

ani, why is mt everest and few other ppl talking about sex when I am asking about cold? I guess for some ppl, sex is the cure for everything..
