Nothing helps a cold go away. It is a virus. Antibiotics do not help. A cold has to run its course. There are OTC meds that can make you more comfortable, but they will not make the cold go away.

Like mother always said: Bed-rest and fluids. (water, not alcohol.) But then again, that was mom's cure for everything. Hope you feel better soon! There's not a whole lot you can do for a cold.

There is a supplement called Euchinacea (or something like that) and if you start taking it at the onset of a cold, then it will alleviate your symptoms much faster.

My own recipe is to boil lemons cut on a half squeeze them and drink it as regular water, try hot, do not go anywhere, stay warm, nothing cold drink liquids.

drink lots of liquids and steam your face. Just because you have a cold, doesn't mean you should stop eating 3 meals a day.
In the mean time get lots of rest

Wait about 10 days and it will be gone, just like if you did treat it.
I have found if I take Zicam nasal spray early, it helps most of the time.

not sure what you mean by "no treatment"; drink lots of liquids, especially citrus, eat, stay warm, don't over-exert yourself and stick it out. suck on cough drops or hard candies. good luck!
