Most people think retch when they try this, but I find it really works.... and I don't mind the taste either.... i don't like it, but I don't mind it.....
Finely chop one clove of garlic, put it all in your mouth and chase it down with a glass of juice... I find that apple and blackcurrant juice is the best one to kill the garlic flavour.
Then make some ginger tea.
Grate a heap of ginger, add some cloves and heaps of water. Boil it until you can smell it through the room.
Strain it into a mug and add honey to take the bite out of the ginger.
If you can hack doing both of these things, do it once in the morning and once at night. This is what I do and I have never had a cold last more than 2 days.
Alternatively, you can add honey to your drinking water. I find it pushes the bugs out of your system quicker and if you have a sore throat, it can really help ease the pain.

20 seeds of black pepper crush them lightly add this to 50 ml water and boil it till it becomes 25 ml filter while it is hot into a small cup and allow it to cool and gulp the contents in one go. ZIG, ZAG, BOOM , BAM the cold is gone mind you it only hurts in the begining but later on you will enjoy it because the cold and sinus just vanish away .

Alka Seltzer Cold Plus....takes care of it all.
Also, now and the start of the next cold, take zinc tablets such as ColdEze. Zinc reduces the severity and length of a cold.

9 days...3 days coming,3 days staying, 3 days leaving..
All you can do is treat symptoms...
Alka seltzer cold plus has worked great for me. It has pain relief and decongestant stuff.
Drink fluids, and get rest!!! Eat what makes you feel better.
Watch all the crime TV you can stand!

Since you're already symptomatic, the only remedy is time.
