Weakness

Well I have a cold and got a soccer game this afternoon and with a cold comes that weakness especially in your legs how can I over come this any ideas?

There is no cure for the common cold. The most important thing you can do is drink a lot of fluids to keep your body hydrated. This will help prevent another infection from setting in. Avoid drinks like coffee, tea, and colas with caffeine. They rob your system of fluids. As for eating, follow your appetite. If you're not really hungry, try eating simple foods like white rice or broth.

Chicken soup is comforting, plus the steam helps break up nasal congestion. Ginger seems to settle an upset stomach. A hot toddy may help you sleep, but beware of mixing alcohol with other cold remedies.

Over-the-counter cold medicines can offer relief from aches and fever. However, doctors no longer believe in suppressing low-grade fever except in very young and very old people, or people with certain medical conditions such as heart or lung disease. Low-grade fever helps the body fight off infection by suppressing the growth of viruses or bacteria and by activating the immune system.

Aspirin. Young people and children should not take aspirin because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.
Decongestants can help make breathing easier by shrinking swollen mucous membranes in the nose. Use for no more than two or three days.
Saline nasal sprays can also open breathing passages and may be used freely.
Cough preparations are not hugely effective. For minor coughs, water and fruit juices probably help the most.
Gargling with salt water can help relieve a sore throat.

Hope you feel better soon, Merry Christmas !!

depending on what time it is, I'd say take some medicine to make you sleep, then take a nap, then when you wake up, take a shower, after the shower start jogging around to build up your strength. like a workout or something. but I don't know, it's not easy to tire me out, even if I have a cold.
