My colds usually start with itchey ears. I use diluted tea tree oil to clean. It really smells bad, so unless you don't mind stinking, I'd do this before bed or when you're staying home.
Taking vitamins is good too. C & B12 tend to help me.
They also have those over the counter cold medicines now that you take when you feel a cold coming on. There are 2 of them that are new this year I think. Sorry, don't remember the names. But if you perused the drug store, you should be able to find them.

Just increase your water intake! That'll do the trick, or drink some lemon juice and avoid sweets and cold beverages. Also rest or get some sleep if you lack some. This act alone will boost your immune system. A fruit rich in vitamin C won't hurt either, like a Tangerine or an Apple.

Well u can take a deep breath of steam of boiling water with a blanket covered (so that steam gets thru yor nose n not in atmosphere).Modern method is try to dink water a lot(but u will get frequent bathroom dreams).Also avoid eating fast food coz it contains bacteria that will worsen yor cold.In fact drink hot coffe n eat pulses that giv u strength n u won't like u hav fever.There r innumerable remedies but these r easy one's n u will be able to concentrate on work

Keeping your feet warm is an old wives tale and now proved to help prevent colds.Wearing warm footware and a hot footbath will help.Vitamin C is now scientifically proven not to cure a cold but I think it helps.
