take mega doses of vitamin c in the pill form, and lots of orange juice and the old standby chicken soup, sleep with a humidifier on and use Vicks mentholatum rub on your chest, get well wishes to you! oh and get plenty of rest and drink, drink, drink, water that is!

Well, to be truthful, there is no way to overcome a cold if you already have it. All the OTC medication is to treat the symptoms rather than the infection itself. Early experiments show that it may be possible to thwart a cold if you take enough Vitamin C at the time of infection. It hasn't been proven or disproven yet.
You need sleep and plenty of liquids. Drink some warm tea with honey and soon it will be fine. Hope you feel better!

BEFORE AND DURING A COLD take ECHINACHIA it helps your immune system, only take it when you feel a cold coming .. or take them while you have a cold and it will shorten the length of ur sickness... also lots of tea and liquids help flush out the lil'bastard LOL keep warm, eat vitamins and you should be better in no time.... of course chicken soup is always good for a cold ;)

Zicam works EXCELLENTLY! I'm telling you, it will shorten the length of your cold (or possibly keep it from fully developing if you catch it early enough). The best part is that it's not a prescription. I recommend it to anyone for colds.

Sleep, liquids, chicken broth, tea. A warm bath.
It will usually pass in a couple days, thank god for the weekend, stay on the couch and rest it up!

Drink some herbal tea, take a hot bath and go to sleep earlier than you normally would... I bet you'll wake up tomorrow and forget all about it!

If your throat hurts, you probably have something other than a cold. You should see a doctor if your throat keeps hurting so badly. It could be tonsillitis or strep.
