its just starting so it isnt too bad, but like most here i dont want one >:( I want to try and get rid of it or reduce the severity of it.
So was just wondering if you guys have any tips or tricks for it. Right now im just drinking a heap of water, taking a lot of vitamin C and drinking a lot of tea. Any other tricks or tips that you think can work?

Drinking lots of fluids is good.
Additionally, get lots of rest to keep your immune system strong. That means staying out of the gym for a few days.
Many people swear by those Alka-Seltzer vitamins, but lately their effectiveness has been highly questionable.

I swear by Airborne even though this just was recently in the news.
Gotta start it quick though in order for it to be most effective.

dose your vitamin c 500mgs every hour until bowel tolerance then stay at that dose for a couple days.
you will thank me later, your looking at 6-10grams of vitamin c, very potent anti-viral at these doses, works for me everytime.

I must concede.
I used Airborne (as you suggest above) for the first time this winter. Whether it's coincidence or not, I've not gotten a cold once, though I have been taking better care of myself in general this cold season.
I was skeptical for years because I'd heard about the "miracles" of Zicam, which never did it for me. Perhaps it's individualistic - some people resopnd differently to each OTC remedy.
Either way, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try them if you're going to be sick anyway.

Olive leaf extract works well
