I have found that if you saline nasal spray even when your not sick,airborne which is an herbal type remedy and lots of vitamin c and zinc.Also to ease your symptoms even more dont drink and do try cold version of thera -flu,this is a hot drink as long as nothing in this will interact with any prescription meds you may be taking.

LOTS OF LIQUIDS....preferably water and hot soups - non cream based - like fresh veggie soup and chicken broth soup
Saline nasal spray
REST REST REST
Something like Theraflu for Severe Cold Nightime - to aid in congestion and cough and help you get a good night's sleep
NO alcohol
Zicam works best if taken as SOON as you feel threatened by a cold...

Hydration, drink plenty of water (I always try to thin kof it as drowning the "bug") and perhaps a sports drink, avoid refine sugar get rest, relax, eat well and right. Avoid Stress.
Good luck.
Check with your physican before taking any advice.
