There is no way to get better fast. If I were your boyfriend, I would not want to be near someone who has a cold. Being close together means he is probably going to catch it from you and then both of you will be ill. Colds last from 5 - 10 days. If you know you are getting sick, it would be unfair of you to expect him to get sick too. Cancel your date until you are better. Take tylenol or ibuprofen on a regular basis, saline nose drops, cough medication if needed, rest, increase your water intake and run a humidifier in the room where you sleep.

Take some Zicam, drink lots of fluids (orange juice, Gatorade, water) and get rest. A cold won't disappear overnight if you've had symptoms for several days.
You should consider rescheduling your date or maybe just renting a movie and staying home. If your BF really cares about you, he should understand.

Whenever I feel something coming on, I sleep as much as I can. Drink lots of orange juice whenever you wake up and stay warm (but not too warm!). Take some Dimetapp or Robitussin, they always work for me. Feel better!
edit: It has been shown that Zicam can cause loss of smell :( It would be best if you didn't try it..

You can't do anything to stop the cold coming on just take cold& flu tablets(paracetamol/codeine) to relieve the symptoms and you won't even feel like you have a cold.

Zicam!!! This stuff seriously works if you take it as directed. I was getting a really bad cold and had to stay home from work one day. I took Zicam religiously and it was gone by the next day.

Lots of Vitamin C which can be found in all fruits including apples, grapes, pineapple.

take something like Cold fx righ away and hopefully u won't suffer much from your cold. or if its available for u take some Zycam. if worst comes to worst contact your date just tell them your sick and need to postpone, i'm sure they will understand.
