I had the same problem a few weeks back. Take 1500 MG of vitamin C a day. Drink WARM liquids, this will accually fight the germs in your throat. Maybe youd want to buy those cold-flu teas. Peroxide in the ear, yes you think its crazy but no. The common cold enters through the ear canal. REST and water. I was feeling better in 2 days. Hope this helps. ; )

Rest, don't rush it. Drink some throat coat tea. Really the best thing you can do is rest. Pop in some good christmas movies like Elf,Scrooged, Christmas Story or Die Hard.

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do but get plenty of rest, drink lots of liquids (water, fruit juice, hot tea) and take advil (ibuprofen) to take care of the aches. Gargling with warm salt water will help relieve some of the sore throat pain, but won't make it go away. Viral infections just have to run their course.

Fluids,rest and time are the only things you can do. Cold medicines just cover the symptoms and don't really end the cold any faster.

If it's a mild cold or something of the sort, they say Zinc will help you get better soon.

Of course, rest and plenty of fuilds will also help.

Mega dose vitamin C! Go to the supermarket and buy ''chewable vitamin C tablets''. You want to consume about 200 mg. per hour.

take lemon Theraflu.. drink it like hot tea, add some sugar if you need too, it will make you drowsy, but as soon as you wake up, you will feel like the cold is totally gone.
