Once you have actually caught a cold there is no cure and you just have to sit it out. You can, of course, take menthol and other soothing agents that make you feel a bit better.
Taking large amounts of vitamin C makes no difference once you have actually caught a cold and is a bit like locking the gate after the horse has bolted.
If you take extra vitamin C every day it boosts your immune system and you will get fewer colds and they will be less severe.

concoction of Tulse leaves- 10, ginger 20 gm and one glass of water -boil for 10 min (to be cosumed in 3-4 times a day, reheat before drinking). Repeat for next 2 days
This is not a cure but very much soothing and post effects of cold are minimised. If you consume 5 tulsi leaves daily in the form of concoction then within a year you may get rid of frequent attacks of cold

I am under the impression that there is no cure for the common cold! However! You can alleviate the symptoms by taking Cold or flu tablets from a pharmaceutical chemist. Have a great day.

Echinacea tincture. Can be bought at most mainstream chemists. Put 15-20 drops of tincture into a shot glass and fill with water. Drink - do this 3 times a day for 4 days and you will see the difference!
Especially good to clear up symptoms of yellow/green mucus (chest infection, sinusitus etc.)
Do not take as a prevention, as this will build up resistence, only as a cure.

There is no cure for the common cold. Its a well known fact. Just sit it out. Its actually good for the immune system to have the old cold now and then.

The is nothing that you can do to completely stop the common cold, other than sit it out. But there some things that you can do to shorten the duration of a cold, like drinking lots of hot honey and lemon, inhaling vapour rub, and taking some asperin.
Take a hot and relaxing bath and sleep lots!
Hope you get better

If treated, a cold will disappear in about 7 days. Untreated it will last about a week.
Just one of those things that only mother nature can cure. Sorry.

Vitamin C and homemade chix noodle soup with plenty of onion and garlic in it. I also make a tea that helps get rid or the cold or flu. Boil fresh ginger (the stronger the better) Pour the liquid into a cup over a green tea bag and add some honey.
