you can still workout but take it easy. Such as doing light weight and 30 minutes cardio on the treadmill. It can help you sweat more and recover faster. Be sure to get enough rest after your workout

You really should rest when your body is trying to fight off something. You could make it last longer.
The common cold is caused by a virus rather than bacteria, so antibiotics can't help. Work on building up your immune system and relieving your symptoms.
STEP 1: Take time off. Getting adequate rest will help you get over your cold quickly.
STEP 2: Drink more water than you usually do. Eight glasses a day is standard when you're healthy, so try to drink more than that.
STEP 3: Substitute herbal tea or juice for water to make your liquid intake goals.
STEP 4: Let your appetite dictate how much you eat. If you're not hungry at all, try eating something that's easy to digest, like a banana. Sugar may have a negative impact on your immune system, so limit sweets.
STEP 5: Eat chicken soup if it makes you feel better. It can't rid your body of the virus, but it's easy to digest and may soothe your throat.
STEP 6: Drink an immune-boosting tea of echinacea or goldenseal. You can also take capsules or a tincture.
STEP 7: Load up on Vitamin C every few hours, and take zinc according to bottle directions.
Tips & Warnings
Use slippery elm and marshmallow for an irritated throat and cough.
As with any type of medication, take herbs and supplements according to bottle instructions.
