The best remedy for having a cold when you must perform or record is this (it has been used by singers for centuries and it really works):
Hot ginger tea.
The best way to make it. Cut up some ginger root and boil it in water, add a small amount of lemon and a small amount of honey.
You will feel how good it is for your voice rather quickly. Opera singers use it, African singers use it, rock singers use it, country singers use it. It may seem like a lot of trouble, but if you use half a ginger root and a quart of water, you'll have enough tea to last right through your recovery.
Of course rest and water will help you shake the cold itself. Don't wear yourself out and try the tea. You'll be alright.

oh i HATE getting colds before i have to perform.
the best solution i've come up with is to eat well and drink a lot a hot drinks. tea, hot chocolate etc...and also try to get a lot more sleep than you usually do. it really makes a difference when you get more rest.
but it is really bad for your voice to sing with a bad cold, so try to avoid it all costs.
it depends when you have to perform, but if its like in a few days, if you rest and take care of yourself you should be fine. a doctor really isnt necessary for a cold
good luck and get better soon.
