Good idea , i was thinking of starting to drink green tea again .

Real medicine is probably your best bet. The side effects (like that weird feeling in your head) aren't always pleasant but it's an easy solution.

Can you buy 'Fisherman's Friend's in Canada? They're a type of super-strong lozenge for sailors - I eat them all the time because of my sinuses and they really help, especially when I need to sing.
Olbas Oil - or any other Eucalyptus oil - add a liberal amount to a bowl of hot water, then put your head over it. Put a towel over both your head and the bowl to 'seal' it. That usually helps to flush the bad stuff out.

i heard from a friend that if you get some black pepper and snort it up your nose it should get rid of the thing that is making you sneeze. IT's a forester remedy that my friend said that his wife tried and she has since stopped sneezing during allergy season. Take it was a pinch of salt but anything is worth a try these days over more meds flooding our bloodstream with crap. Not that I'm some tree loving hippy

Wait a few days.

Cold will be gone.

Money saved.

Stick a tissue up there?

Otherwise ask your doctor for a course of 'Placebo'. Its magical stuff, works 30% of the time on pretty much every ailment.

I bought a bag of placebo last night. hyuck hyuck hyuck...

OT: I have horrible allergies twice a year like clockwork, and simply go into an anti-histamine induced fog each time. I actually kind of look forward to putting my brain away when it happens.....

When I'm feeling gakky, I make the following brews:

-DRINK-
The juice of two whole lemons.
Large amount of ginger, sliced and diced into tiny pieces.
Two Large spoonfuls of honey.
Two whole cloves (not cloves of garlic, but the little black stems of spice).
Cinnamon stick.
Shot of whiskey (if you're allowed...)
-Add the contents to a large mug, add boiling water, leave to stand for 5-10 mins, remove cinnamon and cloves and drink whilst hot.

-FOOD-
Cream of tomatoe soup.
Diced spring onions.
Lots of crushed garlic.
Chillis, without making it inedible.

Works for me.

Cardio-Vascular exercise will clear you right up. Of course an hour or so later, it will come back.
