Cold remedies: Best treatments: sleep, hydration, cough as much of the green slime out of your lungs as possible (chest pt: someone hits your back firmly with humidifier near face or sitting in steam of hot shower bathroom, can sometimes help loosen up slime to cough up. Getting sun to boost vit d levels good as well. Cold eeze next time when feel it starting helps decrease days of illness.
