If wrapping yourself up in some oily concoction while dancing on one leg and inhaling chillies is not your cup of tea, then listen up. Today, we have Dr, K.M. Sunesara, General Physician, Mumbai, educating us by busting the most popular cold and flu myths. *Image courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
