Are you fucking kidding me?

[roboticwaltz]

So I'm only a week away from leaving for Coachella, and wouldn't you know it, I've got an awful cold. I'm talking stuffy nose, 101 fever, the works. Obviously, this is the worst possible timing.

Any personal suggestions on how to get rid of this bitch quick?

[Sleepingrock]

By not giving a shit and going to coachella no matter what!

[locachica73]

fluids, sleep, vitamins and sweating. maybe a shot of tequila or whiskey to boot.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Perhaps a frozen lemonade

[MeowMixer]

Perhaps a frozen lemonade

You are clever. Maybe more of a smartass.

[natureboy]

Fuck your cold (not really). I busted my leg up which will seriously blow with all the walking required for Coachella.

But serisouly, LOTS OF WATER, Echinacea, Rest, Sleep.

This is my remedy and it works!!!
Lots of oranges (Juice oranges 3-5 a day)
E merg n c (or how ever you spell it)
Lots of HOT SALSA...very high in vit C
and give yourself 4 doses of echinacea/goldenseal daily

And chicken soup with lots of veggies...if you can't swing the chicken soup...ramen noodles and add some veggies.

the above never fail!!! And Airborne is your friend for the weekend.!!!

PS...2 sprained ankles beats your cold...

[jimmycrackcorn]

rest, proper nutrition, and most importantly good karma WILL pay off :thu

[locachica73]

ok this is going to sound gross but blow your nose as often as possible to avoid a sinus infection as well.

sleep you have a week

[Jakewc151]

Emergen-c is seriously the best thing. A lot of people think it's a joke, but it's always worked for me.. I've also noticed if I just take it every other day or so I rarely ever get sick.

[morelifefucker]

sweat that shit out......

[runbowsky]

spicy pie

[zajaa]

keep drinking water, take the aforementioned emergen-c and airborne both, and even if it's just a cold you should sleep as much as you can if u don't want to take any risks...

meaning stay home from work/school if you have to. this is coachella

[Jremy]

I go to shows all the time when i'm sick. I'm literally 10 times better the next day.
My theory is that you sweat it all out.
Works like a charm. You'll be rockin and rollin on Saturday.

Any personal suggestions on how to get rid of this bitch quick?Yeah I've got some of the same plague going on, AND my car died this morning. But I don't give a good god damn, I am going there regardless of any kind of annoyances, health or $$$-wise.

Here's hoping you heal up soon though...

[Fourthisto]

PS...2 sprained ankles beats your cold...I went to a show with broken ribs before.... was dancing around even though it felt like someone was taking a nail file to my lungs from the inside. It was one of my favorite shows of the year, and worth every iota of pain.

Not smart, but we do what is necessary to make our short time on the planet an awesome one. :cool:

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I went to Coachella 2004 sick as a dog.......totally worth it.....

[Boourns]

What's the best thing to take during Coachella to prevent sinus infection? Last year I did the claritin/dayquil then benadryl at night to sleep thing and it did not work.

[moomoo]

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
Drink ACV daily and I promise you'll heal faster and feel GREAT when you're better. I don't know the exact recipe to make it drinkable because I usually just take a shot of it after breakfast, lunch, dinner like a fucking manly lumberjack. But if you might not be used to the taste so mix it with some warm water and honey and you should be able to down it.

check out earthclinic.com for more shit/recipes.

When I'm sick, I like to sweat it out by doing some physical activity. GOOD LUCK BRO.

[BROKENDOLL]

I can vouch for the Tequila suggestion! Haven't had a sniffle or a sore throat since that first "Ole'!"

[Sexecutioner]

dude, you have a week, which is plenty of time to recover. "worst timing ever" would be if you got sick on the 16th.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

dude, you have a week, which is plenty of time to recover. "worst timing ever" would be if you got sick on the 16th.

and even if you did....laying out in the sun for a bit really helps...

[moomoo]

Yeah, let earth's natural vitamin D blow loads on your cranium. that helps too.

[ZeeAdmiral]

I'm just getting over my cold and Mucinex D and those Vick's shower soothers have done wonders for me. The steam from a normal shower will help, but add the shower soothers and it really opens up your sinuses.

[iloveorangejuice]

You gotta masturbate that shit out.

[roboticwaltz]

PS...2 sprained ankles beats your cold...
Yeah, you win. Sorry about that.


dude, you have a week, which is plenty of time to recover. "worst timing ever" would be if you got sick on the 16th.

Very true, god I'd be a such a crab all weekend if that happened. Anyway, thanks for the advice guys, I bought one of those fatty packs of Emergen-C, so this cold doesn't stand a fucking chance. Regardless, I will be there, and I will rock hard.

Even if you don't have allergies, any kind of sinus deal its awesome for.

Its over the counter, too. No pesky docs, just suspicious glances by the Walmart cashier.

[iloveorangejuice]

No but seriously I take liquid Robitussin every 2-3 hours. It works for me.

[gilley]

Your colds last more than a week? You need to go to a doctor

[locachica73]

Overdosing on Nyquil for 24 hours and covering up in bed usually does a good job as well. Just be careful of the slight hallucinations you get. Sometimes they are fun, sometimes not so much.

[unknown]

Hey it's all good, I got sick back in February and still have a fucked up cough! I probably have walking pneumonia or bronchitis but I don't give a fuck! It doesn't help to smoke herb, cigs on occasion, have allergies and have 2 cats but whatever.

Some else said it above, but get shitloads of sleep. Take Friday off work (tomorrow) and rest all day.

And don't just sleep in late- get your ass in bed at 10 pm. try to get a solid 8 hours at night without waking in between.

and if something is stressing you, deal with it. stress will make your cold stay longer.

[moomoo]

and smoke some bowls.

[paganman7]

This seems like perfect timing to me. If you can't get over a cold in a week, then you are quite possibly a big immuno-compromised pussy.

[djandrews25]

when your fever goes away get some antibiotics.

Thanks for the tip.

What's the best thing to take during Coachella to prevent sinus infection? Last year I did the claritin/dayquil then benadryl at night to sleep thing and it did not work.

ZYRTEC is fucking great and one pill lasts 24 hours. It also doesn't make me feel all drugged out like claritin does

[momof5]

Olive Leaf Extract capsules and chicken soup. You can take it from me-it works and I have treated a lot of colds in my 34 years as a mom. A Chinese medicine student who tutored my daughter in Calculus told us about the Olive Leaf extract and it really does work. You can get it at the drugstore and some grocery stores.

[roboticwaltz]

and smoke some bowls.

I'd like to take that advice in full, but smoking weed only tends to make a cold last longer from what I hear. And it makes any cough I may have linger for months.

[johnnypolite]

You should be better by next week if you get lots of rest and take vitamins.

Or you could be a pussy and sell your tickets.

none of the medications mentioned will prevent a sinus infection. to do that you need to actually flush out your sinuses each night to get all that dirt and crap out. i use one of these, check it out: http://www.neilmed.com/usa/products.php#sinusrinse

netty pots are also really popular, and do the same thing, but a little different method. instead of squeezing it up in there like the one above, you use a tea kettle type thing to poor in one nostril, tilt your head, and let gravity drain it out your other nostril.

both take some getting used to, since its weird feeling water go up your nose at first, but you get used to it. and if you are prone to sinus infections, i highly suggest using one of these on a regular basis. i used to get them all the time, and now i havent gotten one since i started using these.
