Everyone's answers are pretty much what I would say. If you have a day to get sick and get better, just sick it out as long as your fever is under 103. If it's over, take some aspirin or Tylenol to bring it down. I would rest and stay in bed. For the coughing, I'd get some Ricola drops and herbal tea. I like Bigelow Chamomille with Lemon and Celestial Seasoning's Lemon Zinger. The lemon really soothes your throat.
One person said to take Zicam. I heard some bad stuff about that. Some people have lost their sense of smell after using it. I don't know how often it happens, but I wouldn't want to risk it to get over a cold.

Lots of rest, drink lots of OJ or get a Vit C supplement. If it gets too bad you may have the flu. Get meds that say for severe cold and flu which could possibly make you sleepy. If none of that helps in a week go see a dr. Could be something else or may get an infection.

Hot bath, a herb tea and vitamin C and stay indoors and warm.

...drink fluids (vodka and rum work well), cigarettes, and emergen-c (fizzy vitamin c drink powder you can mix with anything)
