Super User Tin Posted February 16, 2011 Super User Posted February 16, 2011 I have a hockey game in a few hours, 1st place for the season and $1000 for our team is on the line. Which is best quick fix? Quote
Carrington Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 dayquill, go get some and you will feel normal. i just went through this last week while practicing for a tourny lol. Quote
B-Dozer Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Catching your PB on the 1st cast of the !st time out of the year. Too bad it's not on your list Quote
VolFan Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Hot chicken soup with plenty of black pepper and Sriacha chile sauce in it. Clears the congestion, hydrates, replenishes electrolytes, gets you some protein and carbs, and...it's comforting. Quote

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 17, 2011 Super User Posted February 17, 2011 i was planning on coming in here and saying whiskey but hey! it was on the list! ;D Quote
Super User Tin Posted February 17, 2011 Author Super User Posted February 17, 2011 Try to stop being a girl. Whatever it is I caught it from your girl so you will get it soon enough. Thankfully it isn't making me itch. Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted February 17, 2011 Super User Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah, she told me about that. Said you couldnt stop crying, or get off the toilet. There was also some mention of you throwing a fit cause she took your binky. Buck up cowboy. We all have problems ;D Quote
Nibbles Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Alcohol is a diuretic, which is probably not the best thing to take if you have a cold. Cough syrups may help with the cough, but they can also make you drowsy or more depending on the active ingredients. Dextromethorphan, a typical ingredient in cough syrups, is a cough suppressant, but you gotta watch how much you take 'cause it can and will alter your mental state and spatial awareness if you accidentally take too much. Some syrups contain Guaifenesin, which is an expectorant - it basically helps you expel mucus by thinning it out and causing it to drip everywhere. You probably don't want to take anything with Guaifenesin in it if you're looking for a short term fix since it's one of those things that will make you feel better in the long run but hell of a lot worse in the short run. If I may ask, which symptoms are bothering you the most? Quote
Super User Tin Posted February 17, 2011 Author Super User Posted February 17, 2011 Nibbles, you're too smart for your own good. lol All in good fun, just downed some Theraflu, I have to watch it closely because of the immunosuppressants I'm on. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 17, 2011 Super User Posted February 17, 2011 chug cough syrup and robotrip on the ice. Quote
JoePhish Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Chicken soup is the cure all. Also a bit of honey, tea w/ honey or hot water w/ honey for the cough/soreness of throat. I also use essential oils. A little peppermint oil always clears up the sinuses. Quote
Triton21 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 A quart of good "Hillbilly Moonshine" And you won't give a S#!t about a minor thing like a cold. Make you have a great time fighting but may not help your game. Kelley Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 17, 2011 Super User Posted February 17, 2011 Chicken soup is great go get rid of a cold. Quote
bmadd Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Some sort of amphetamine? :-X To answer your question honestly, most people around here recommend either a combination of whiskey and honey or whiskey and peppermint. Quote
MyKeyBe Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 This or if it must be brandy, homemade. Yum!!! Quote
Super User burleytog Posted February 17, 2011 Super User Posted February 17, 2011 Change your tampon? Quote
zero limit Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I left the Doctor's w/ an acute case of pneumonia and that night played hockey. I was young and dumb but I'm still here. After the game try some Baily's Irish Cream Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted February 17, 2011 Super User Posted February 17, 2011 I'd say Dr. Fourbizz and Dr. Burley have suggested the most appropriate treatment, you little puss. ;D Good luck anyways!!! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 17, 2011 Super User Posted February 17, 2011 Change your tampon? He wears pads, that way the cats don't play with the string.... Quote
brushhoggin Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Wow. just wow. I was gonna chime in and strongly recommend theraflu but youre on it. that stuff is miraculous Quote
Super User Tin Posted February 17, 2011 Author Super User Posted February 17, 2011 Change your tampon? He wears pads, that way the cats don't play with the string.... I keep telling Hill this is why we cannot get a cat. lol Quote
