When you start to feel a cold coming on, take Vitamin C. If you take it every couple of hours you might be able to fight the cold off. Even when full-blown sick you should still take Vit. C. However, when it comes to medicine - the two best things I have found is Sudafed and Ibuprofen. I'm not usually one to take medicine though. Vitamin C has always worked for me. They also have things you can drink - like Theraflu (if you can deal with the taste). And regular green tea is always good as well.

Take Zinc. It boosts your immune system, and helps you get over a cold faster. You can even keep taking them after your cold is gone, and you will notice that you don't get sick as often. I also highly reccomend Flax Seed Oil. It is very good for you, its full of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Also Vitamin C is good for you (OJ) Hope you feel better!

But here is what works for me. Tons of fluid and Sleep.
Zinc (make sure you take it with food so it won't upset your stomach).
Watermelon (cold), it has tons of water and lots of sugar and Vitamine C. good for you in every way.

It will make you smell a little funny, but eating garlic helps me when I have a cold. Real garlic- if the cloves are tiny, you can swallow them whole, but usually you gotta chew them.

Get some rest and clear liquids--colds go away when they are ready--you cant make them go away.
