What's the best way to kill a cold

Is this the wrong time to write a smug post about me not having had a cold for about 3 years now?

Can't be 100% sure, but I think it's related to me cutting down my milk intake to a very small amount.  I don't eat breakfast cereal any more (which is when I had the most milk), and since I've cut down on milk I haven't had a cold and any allergies (to house dust, hayfever) have not bothered me anywhere near as much as they used to.  I still have milk in my tea, have the occasional chocolate, etc.

It could just be coincidence, but it seems to have worked for me.

From what I've read it could be to do with the mucus production.  So although I might catch a cold, I don't get any of the symptoms.

The problem with curing the common cold is................its not common, the virus mutates so quickley that some colds are only exist in 1 or 2 people before they change again.

i always find that sweating helps, (must be raising core temprature)

Make yourself uncomfortabley hot and get yourself a copy of oblivion on the xbox360

I seriously can't remember the last time I had a cold - I think it has something to do with the blood/alcohol ratio

Does this stop you getting udder diseases?

Oh yeah...I forgot. If you wash your hands frequently and avoid hand-mucous membrane (eye, nose, mouth, elbow) contact, you cut your chances of getting a cold by 40 percent.

Poker must be the rhinovirus' dream.....You get AA and you win a massive pot with it, not only have you got the AA that has been handled by every cold sufferer at the table, but all their chips too.
If you have a cold, openly sneeze on all of your chips. Watch them try betting then....

throat lozinges - i havent had a proper cold in about 3 years as for me it always starts with a sore throat, if i dont get rid of it then it turns into a blocked up nose then a cold then as the cold is going i get a tickly cough.

If i get rid of the sore throat however it never develops into a full cold so plenty of strepsils and soothers during the day with one lemsip before bed usually does it for me.
