I have a stuffy head, a cough, and sneeze (typical cold) is there any way that I could get this thing to go away naturally, not dealing with over counter drugs, antibiotics, etc.?

lots of juices and fluids
lost of rest
Try one of these supplements -Echinecea (boost immunity)
- Garlic (antibacterial/antiviral)
- Vit C (helps in healing)

Vitamin C 1000mg morning and night (2 times a day).
Lots of garlic (natural antibiotic).
Cayenne pepper (chili pepper) will help loosen stuffy nose, but then you'll have lots of nasal drainage.
Peppermint also helps clear a stuffy head. Steaming water, add peppermint extract or peppermint candies to melt, place head over water with towel draped over your head to hold in the steam and breathe it in - sort of like a vaporizer.

Go to the pharmacy and get some Zicam
http://www.zicam.com/
If you are going by plane take a Vicks inhaler and take a decongestant pill a few minutes before you take off. The thing you want to prevent is the congestion backing up in your ears and blowing a hole in your ear drum. (been there done that so many times I now have it down to a science) Flying is very hard on the ears and they never seem to get the plane cabin pressure right.
You can also get those waxy ear plugs and put them in your ears to avoid a bursting eardrum.
If you sniff the Vicks inhaler while the plane is taking off and just before it lands it will open up your nose and help the mucus not to backup in your ears.

Cough is caused by a number of ailments.
It can be treated by over the counter medicines
or home remedies. More information available

You can try juicing vegetables. You probably don't want to do this, but if you go out and buy some vitamin C and pop ALOT of those, you'll get well faster...kool name by the way!

Get some extra rest and drink lots of liquids. Your cold should be better in three days.

drink ginger ale, put a wet towel on your forehead that has cold water and sleep alot when you aren't busy. Try to avoid the wind and cold wather.

Without doing anything, you should be just about well in 5 days.
