well, to make it go away in 1 day (missing 1 day of school/work) do this:
stay warm
-take hot baths
dont eat a lot
-drink a lot of hot tea, soup (it will help your throat)
take throat losenges
-the brand name ricola works the best, check at the pharmacy
take 2 tylenols before going to bed
the next morning you will feel better
blow your nose often
-it might make it red but the less stuff you remove from you nose the less you will cough afterwards
-get a lot of rest, take a few naps
Take vitamin C-----
i recently had a cold and this helped me

Try sweating it out... keep in mind if its a FLU its actually a bug thats infected you, not from cold weather. So how u caught the "cold" is in important factor. Vitamin C is always good... try anything that will boost your energy levels, Vitamin B is good for Energy. Your imune system is down, so try to boost it back up. Good Luck :)

I've had really good luck with Emergen C when I've got a bug - gives me a little extra boost (as a mom - or an athlete - you don't have that luxury of relaxing till you feel better) as well as tons of vitamins to get yah feeling better faster. I get mine at walmart, a box of it is around $9 or $10. I'm sure you could find it online... good luck!

Drink plenty of water, and orange juice. Take some vitamin c supplements, tea with honey & lemon and if you are congested drop a Halls in the tea. Nasty but works.

if it is truly a cold, choose a remedy, whichever one you want, and in 48-72 hours it'll make you better.
