It did work for me a couple times but I was much younger. I would drink absurd amounts of water and then work out and sweat like crazy and I usually felt better. In recent years I just whined about being sick and just dealt with it but I think it is early enough that maybe I can nip it in the bud. Maybe.

My Family finally got me sick

I don't like the sweat it out idea. Is that something you've had success with?

I vote for drink tons of OJ and hot tea w/honey and get lots of rest. That's how I usually approach being sick.
