Ginger tea works well too.

Although, if you wanna get knocked out while trying to get better, whiskey works.

I usually grate a good chunk of ginger, add to a medium sized pot of water. Bring to the boil, add 2 cardomom pods, a stick of cinnamon, 1 star anise, couple of cloves, grated zest of one orange. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Strain mixture and add a little honey. You can drink it hot or cold

Aww, thanks guys!

I feel better just from your sweet comments. Unfortunately for me, your home remedies would be a bit of problem since I don't drink alcohol, thus meaning there's none at home and I'm really not in any condition to go to my local liquor store and buy some whiskey or wine (of which neither taste good btw).

I had to go and do some grocery shopping today and post some packages as well as pick one up (my Phal. Stone Dance var. yellow and my Phal. equestris var. coerulea) and this short trip exhausted me completely! It's ridiculous how much a simple cold can knock one out so completely! But after taking some febrifugal and after a nap I felt much better! Oh, and no nosebleed today! I've been busy trying to cough up my lungs instead, but change is always good.
