A common cold is a virus.
There are no known medical or homeopathic cures for a simple common "cold virus".
Penicillin can cure bacterial infections not viral.
Your local drug store has regular over the counter medications you can take to relieve some of the symptoms of the common cold.
Otherwise medical staff usually advises patients to have plenty of rest & liquids while fighting a viral infection. Canned chicken soup is also advised because it offers salt & starches that can help you retain water & bring up your sugar levels.
If you start to signs of dehydration or your “cold” last more then a week, you should consult your doctor.

Sometimes people find out repeated 'colds' are an allergy to something, perhaps you can pay a visit to the ENT ( Ear,Nose. Throat) doctor and he will tell you.
If it is just a cold then nothing is better than to cuddle up warmly on the sofa and drink as much warm chicken soup as you can. It will just go away on it own.

GARLIC - eat it & peel a fresh clove and tape it to the sole of your foot cover with a sock overnight while you sleep , your body will absorb it
also garlic and horseradish tablets

Loads of fluid, paracetamol, keep warm and the odd port and brandy chases the blues away as well as easing your chest.

Boil an onion whole and sit on it for at least an hour.

There is no cure.
You can alleviate some of the symptoms.
