What do you do for Colds?

How do you guys go about doing your sinus cleaning?

In my parts growing up we would block one nostril and blow hard. Right after that we would continue branding calves.
 
For the sinuses I have a soft bottle, with some kind on nipple, press and the water goes from one nostril to the other, quite impressive at first but feels amazing after that.
 
Whiskey and sleep...

no really day-quill and night-quill, lots of water and sleep...healthy eats...lots of fruit
 
another vote for vit C 3-4 tablets first day you feel the symptoms. Then at least two a day until cold is gone. Since I started doing that, I have noticed cold have not been as severe, or last as long. If I start feeling a sore throat, I wash, gargle with mouth wash. I have not had a major sore throat since I started doing that. Also with the sore throat, keep something in your mouth. Vit c drops, cough drops or even hard candy keeping the throat moist seems to keep the irritation down.

Sinus rinses are helpful, and when you feel that initial sore-throat feeling gargle some salt water (often). It'll really help.

Along these lines I gargle, then swallow, apple cider vinegar. Someone tild me this on day 4 of a horrible sore throat, I did it and nothing happened...until about an hour later it completely went away and never came back. Ever since, when I feel one coming on I gargle/swallow and haven't had any more sore throats.
 
As much Vitamin C as you can get your hands on. Truthfully, I take 5,000 to 10,000 milligrams a day, maybe more when I feel a tickle and have not been sick in years. Your umm stool will soften up quite a bit though.
