Colds
There is no cure for the common cold, but the symptoms of headache, runny nose, fever aches, pains and weakness are worth treating. The best treatment for a cold is still bed rest. A day in bed does more good than anything else. Take aspirin in the recommended dose for a headache or fever; drink plenty of fluids; and take 1g of Vitamin C twice a day (it may do some good and will do no harm). If you are going to use nasal decongestants to help you breathe more easily, follow the instructions carefully — never overdo them.
