A Spoonful of Sugar

There are many horrible things about colds: runny nose, stuffy head, soar throat, endless mucus, endless sneezing, fever.. you get the idea. There are likewise, many ways of treating these symptoms. Now, I mentioned earlier the method of ignoring your cold, which in the end is mostly fruitless, so I have sought new ways of coping. Perhaps they will benefit you.

Method 1: Buy lots of orange juice.



It tastes delicious and is good for you, but be prepared for frequent bathroom visits.

Method 2: Take lots of drugs



Now, this method is a tricky one. Over the counter medicines claim to provide relief, but usually it's hit or miss. Try to get the pills that taste like candy or the cough syrup with the highest alcohol content. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Method 3: Nasal Massage



Works like a charm, but provides only temporary relief. This method could be awkward if you don't know your masseuse very well. CAUTION: Do not press to firmly on the nasal passages!! Nasal trauma may produce swelling and soreness, coupled with slight disdain for your well-intentioned masseuse.
