well it may be hard to swallow all that water but plenty of fluids are a must no matter how sick you are.

I think you did all the right steps..now you just gotta wait till its gone.

ALso try garlic, its bad on the breath, but it really does cure a lot of things.

Ginger for nausea if u get that.

glutamine is known to benefit the immune system so if u have some start taking it. And drink water dude, lots of it, dont stop drinking cuz it hurts, just dont overdo it

well, that is just terrible advice....you should be consuming as much fluid (in the form of pure water) as possible when you have a cold. Definatley start drinking water, you should be sipping water all day when sick. Its probably the best thing you can do, to try and rid your body of the virus.

Drink more fluids to soothe your sore throat. Honey and lemon in hot water or in weak tea may help. Get extra rest. Slow down just a little from your usual routine.

You'll make up for it. Almost everyone gets sick, so no worries. Also, use it as motivation - thats what I would do.

[nateakabear]

Its okay to miss a workout every once in a while. It will let your muscles recover a little bit.

[pathik55]

Also drink some orange juice, the vitamin C will give a boost to your immune system and aid in fighting the illness.

Take a lot of Vitamin C.
I did and it was nearly completely gone in 2 days.

i dont know whats thats all about bro, i seriously was in the same position he was and am still feeling it a little. If you dont wanna lose any progress all u can do is get in the gym anyway. You wont be lifting at 100% but something is better than nothing. Id love to see what my wrestling coach would say if i told him i couldnt lift with the team cause i got some cold symptoms. lol. U best have the flu or somethin serious to qualify as a reason to not attempt to lift something...

[nateakabear]

If I ever have a cold or some small sickness like that I always lift. I usually feel more awake and feel better after. Just make sure to drink a lot of fluids and get that vitamin c.

Dont worry about that, a while back when i was sick i didnt wanna stop training so the sickness stretched over 3.5 weeks. I lost strenght and probably muscle, so wait till your cured.

[Dorian_Yates]

Dont hesitste(sp) to get some rest bro. A minor cold that could of kept you out of the gym for a day or 2 could drag on and affect you for weeks.
