Get rid of a cold as quickly as possible?
I had a mild cold, but the runny nose is so bad… my flight leaves in two days, and I have snot all the way down to my big toe, which is really pissing me off. I've been drinking gallons, taken antibiotics, saltwater spray, and taking a steam bath every few hours, but the runny nose isn't getting any better. I've even eaten honey. Do you have any other home remedies or ideas? I really don't want to infect anyone on the plane, but I have to fly, no matter what.
Sorry for these platitudes, but colds last for fourteen days to two weeks…
And antibiotics only help with bacterial infections, colds are virus infections. I guess you got the antibiotics to prevent bacterial secondary infections.
You can only continue to try to alleviate the symptoms, but against the cold viruses only your body can do something – and this takes time.
You can do all that then it takes 9 days (3 days he comes, three he stays, three he goes). You can’t do anything then it takes nine days.
Antibotics are not a good idea. They won’t do anything. The kill bacteria, unfortunately also the good ones that are urgently needed. It’s a virus infection. Antibiotics are powerless against viruses.
Did the antibiotics get against bacterial infection and according to doctor it is not a virus as I have no fever or feel very bad.
