There are many chinese patent medicines that will act as antivirals and will treat colds very quickly. Please note, they don't just cover up the symptoms like OTC meds but actually kill the virus. The two most popular formulas are Yin Chiao and Gan Mao Ling. You should be able to find at least one of them at your local health food store. If you can't locate them, then I would suggest Zicam from your local drugstore. It is a homeopathic antiviral that you put just inside your nose and is very effective. I would also suggest lots of Vitamin C to support your immune system and gargling with a Goldenseal (1/2 teaspoon in warm water).

get some brandy and water and honey put it in a pot bring it to a simmer and sip on it. Really helps. PS. All the Alcohol is cooked out but still gives you a numbing effect on your sore throat. :)

Drink lots of liquid, move around a little bit, eat healthy, hot fluids.
Try boiling a pot of water and soak your face in the steam for a few minutes. put a towel over your head to get the best effect. should clear your sinuses

don't know if you can get rid of it in 2 days. depends on how boosted your immune system is. Get PLENTY of rest, take your regular daily vitamin, take extra vitamin C, and eccinachia. Drink PLENTY fluids. Hope you get better before your party. P.S. If you still having planning and errands to run before big party, you might want to deligate some of the tasks to friends you can trust to follow through.

This works for me every time:
Vitamin C with echinacea twice a day.
Zinc losenges and/or nose swabs repeatedly throughout the day and evening.
Take something at night that will help you rest. Rest is essential if you're going to kick it.

I would suggest you drink cold medicine as prescribed (1 tablet, 3 times a day).
And drink a lot of water.
Also, please don't self medicate and don't rush things. It might be harmful for you if you try to increase the dosage just to be better sooner. Most of the time, instead of healing faster, you will just make yourself sicker.

To get rid of a cold in two days is easy.
First: build time machine
2nd: use time machine to travel in time about 10days
3rd:Enjoy!
