Today is my wedding day, and I woke up this morning with a painful cough and fever of 98.8 (my norm temp is 97.4). I bought the homeopathic Ziacam nasal gel that is supposed to shorten a cold. I don't take regular medication (being they have FD&C dies, sucralose etc). What can I do to relieve my symptoms and keep up energy today? and give my cells the supplements they need to fight off the cold?

My cough mainly hurts in the upper part of my lungs. I'm not coughing that much... trying not to destroy my vocal chords.

First thing that comes to my mind is a Vitamin B supplement.
The kind from a health food store that is sub-lingual (under tongue) or the nasal type. B-12 is known for an energy boost naturally. This would be my best bet if I were you. Congratulations and hope your feel better really fast.

You need to take some advil for the pain.
I would recommend sudafed if you have cold symptoms, because it doesn't tire me out, but I know it makes some people sleepy. The good thing is that it only lasts 4 hours, so you might be able to see how it affects you before your actual wedding.
There really aren't any good cough medicines, so take care of your other symptoms. Where is your cough hurting you exactly?
