So if you've had this cold how long did it last and does going to the dr do any good.

Make a vegetable soup with rice or barley, beans or lentils. Then, after the soup is made, cut up a big (raw) clove of garlic into small pieces (minced). And put the pieces into the soup.

You can't just eat a whole clove of garlic raw because it will likely burn your mouth. So when you put the pieces in the soup, it will keep the garlic from being too strong and burning. Don't use cooked garlic, garlic powder, garlic pills or minced garlic from a jar. None of that will do much good.

Do it when you're sure you won't be going out anywhere or having people come over because your breath will be odoriferous.
