grr. i'm having my mid year exams soon but i'm SICK. and whenever i get sick, i can't concentrate because i'm always busy trying to find extra tissues because my nose is constantly runny. i'm always coughing so i need some water. and this mid year exam, can't miss it or else i'll have an automatic fail. so any suggested medicine or home remedies you have in mind?

blast your body with Vitamin C... i say 1000 mg a day

^ that works well for fevers.

eat asian pears, or was that for coughing?

vitamin c, get lots of sleep, drink lots of water.

over the counter medicine works to relieve your symptoms, but i learned in health that you can't completely remove it because it's a virus and you just have to wait it out.

fluids, drink lots and lots of fluids. and get bed rest.

I have heard that hot Coca Cola plus lemon and ginger will cure sore throat.

I haven't tried that home remedy before.

Orange juice can prevent cold because of the vitamin C, but don't ever drink it when you have a cold because it builds up mucus and causes sore throat/coughing.
