It seems like I've come down with a "cold." I didn't know Twili could catch them. In fact, I was almost positive they couldn't.

Is there anyone who is at least not mostly retarded that would be willing to suggest remedies to my situation?

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Unfortunately, all I can really suggest are the more common remedies - plenty of fluids (water, juice or broth, avoid sodas as they'll make you more dehydrated), and if you have a humidifier available it should help with some of the symptoms.

Thanks kid.

What the hell is a humidifier?

[twinborn_yin]

It's no trouble.

A humidifier is an appliance that increases the moisture in the air - there are humidifiers that will do so in a single room or in an entire house. The cold virus thrives in dry environments, and the dryness also tends to cause stuffy noses and sore throats. So, a humidifier should help with those symptoms.

If you don't have one of those, you could always close yourself up in your bathroom and turn on a hot shower. Breathing in the steam should work just as well.

Oh. That makes sense.

We don't have showers or bath tubs. There really isn't any dirt around here to wash off.

Chicken soup. It's supposed to help somehow.

[twili_prncss]

I never really got the point of that one.

[upyourscolonel]

Same here, but mom always said it helped.

[twili_prncss]

Well, thanks for the help, kid.

What's your name?

"At least not mostly retarded."

Drug up.

Well I can't be taking advice from idiots. And I believe that rules out 3/4s of the people here.

Any specifics you'd like to suggest?

If you're interested in a natural remedy, might I suggest echinacea and garlic? Anything with vitamin C would also help.

Echinacea and garlic? I've never heard of that one.

Vitamin C? Like Orange Juice?
