Since there really is no known cure for a virus type of illness, all you're really doing is masking symptoms.
I heard or read the other day that some docs now think that actually can lengthen the illiness, because the body's natural defenses (or something like that) don't work as hard when the symptoms are less. Not a doctor, but that makes some sense to me.
I still like Nyquil and menthol cough/throat drops.
Although I wouldn't try it, the sports director at a TV station I worked for many years ago used to swear that the way he got over illnesses was taking a bottle of Scotch into a really hot steamy bath and soaking the illness out.
Hmmmm......
