It relies upon really on how lengthy this has been occurring notwithstanding it sounds like some thing except a chilly or a chilly that's growing some thing else. From the way you describe it hurting once you adjust positions it would properly be pleurisy, an inflammation of the tissue contained in the chest wall and around the lungs which persons on occasion get after a respiration an infection. WIth pleurisy it may damage to inhale. regularly they basically inform you to relax and take some thing like Motrin for discomfort, if that's viral. you would bypass to a walk-in sanatorium or urgent care if that's an option for you. If that's bacterial you're given an antibiotic.

Sorry, the only thing that is going to help is lots of fluids and plenty of rest.
There has been no cure for the common cold found as of yet.
Although most over the counter remedies will alleviate your symptons so you can rest more (and some will even make you drowsey enough to knock you out).
Enjoy a relaxing day in bed.

Try a Hot Toddy. Mix whiskey, honey and lemon juice in a coffee cup and then heat it for about 30 seconds in the microwave. The honey is to coat your throat as a natural cough supressant, the lemon is to break up the congestion, and the whiskey is to help you sleep. It works wonders.

Nothing beats two paractomal, steamy shower/bath and an early night. Careful of too much paractemol. Not home remedy but Happy Nose really works!

A nice hot chilli dish, hot as you can stand it, with loads of garlic - keep wrapped up warm and enjoy the heat! I recommend Peri-Peri sauce (just go for a Nandos to avoid having to cook). Olbas and eucalyptus oil on your pillow works too.
Get well soon, I'm suffering witht he same lurgy right now, so all the best!

Drop of Brandy always does the job. Not too much though. Vicks vapour rub in hot water, towel over the head and breathe in the vapour should clear a blocked nose.

Boil some milk put it in a heat proof drinking vessel, add desertspoon full of runny honey, teaspoon of butter [not spread] and a tablespoon of whisky - stir well and sip whilst hot. Dad's recipe - makes you sweat, clears your stuffy nose, sooths your throat and lungs.

My mum alway's told me to warm Lilt [pineapple and grapefuit drink] in the microwave and add a spoon of honey. Both containing loads of Vit C. Paracetamol, and go to bed with a hot water bottle.

The best thing to treat a cold with is Cat Nip Tea (Nepeta cataria). It is an anti-viral and a diaphoretic. You'll be cured in no time at all.
