The average cold lasts 10-14 days (sorry!).  To have a speedy recovery, drink lots of water, take a multi-vitamin every day, and eat chicken soup (they've done studies that show it works).  You can also try taking ginger and garlic capsules- they can both help,  I've also heard a lot of people say Airborne works well too- make sure you rest!!!

Take ecchinasea, vit C AND use zicam zinc nasal swabs every 2 hours for the first 48 hours of your cold. Stay in bed and do nothing but rest.

Once you have a cold, there's nothing you can do but let it run its course.  What you can do to ease the discomfort is drink lots of fluids(orange juice for vitamin C) and eat chicken soup.  Other than that, just try to relax and wait it out.

Some evidence has suggested that zinc might trim a day or two off of the usual 7-10 day course.  But essentially there is nothing you can do except treat the symptoms.  Hydration, decongestants, and analgesics can be helpful for symptoms.  Painful or excessive cough can be treated with anti-tussives, but if possible avoid using these, since cough is an effective way of cleaning your lungs and airways.  \n\nHelp prevent getting a cold when people around you are sick by washing your hands frequently, and never touching your face.  You may want to frequently clean off keyboards and other surfaces that other people use.\n\nIf you have a cold, be kind and wash your hands frequently,  do not cough or sneeze into the air or into your hands, and let people know that you have a cold so that they can take precautions.  If you have something worse than a common cold, avoid people alltogether and see a physician.\n\nFinally if you do catch someone's common cold--and you probably will--take comfort that you will never get THAT particular cold again, since you are building an immunity to it.  However, there will always be plenty of new strains coming along every year that you can catch.

A cold is a virus and there is nothing you can do to actually make it go away...you can treat the symptoms so that you can get on with your life though.  Make sure that you get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids, take some DayQuil during the day...it never makes me feel to 'drugged up'...and get on with your life.  So long as you are getting enough sleep, eating right, and drinking enough fluids your body will handle the virus.

Take a nap when you get home today, before you go out. Then take some cold medecine, but not nyquil, because it will just put you to sleep.  Some sudafed or tylenol cold should do fine. Just make sure it's "non drowsy". \n\nDrink plenty of water while you're out and for god's sake don't overdo it with alcohol.  Your body will be hard at work getting rid of the infection and breaking down medications and alcohol will just make things worse. It's never good to mix drugs.\n\nBe prepared to be really sick tomorrow. \n\nPlan B?  Call your friends and put off the celebration until this weekend when you're feeling well again.\n\nGood luck!

Drown your cold with orange juice...vitamin C is good but people don't know how much to take....you have to take 1000 mg each hour until you get diarreha for the pills to help. But the juice keeps you hydrated and it helps your throat. Also..Lemon Juice....put a tablespoon in your mouth and hold it...sore throat germs cannot live in lemon juice.\nRest as much as you can...your lungs and sinuses cannot heal if you are taxing other parts of your body.

First, let me suggest that you invest in a good multi-vitamin to help build up your immune system, and maybe a good Vitamin C.\n\nSecond, buy some Vicks Vapo-Rub.  Use this mostly at night rubbing it ion your chest and around your nostrils.  \n\nThird, I couldn't live without Day-Quil and NyQuil when I have a cold like this.  The NyQuil helps you sleep and makes it easier to breathe, while controlling your cough.  The Dayquil helps you to breathe during the day and controls your cough while helping to keep you awake.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!

Just eat well, drink plenty of fluids, and get bed rest as much as you can.  I just got over a cold, I took Nyquil at night and Dayquil in the mornings, it helped me.  Vitiman C is great at preventing a cold.

There is no cure for a cold, but there are some things you can do to ease the symptoms so you can get on your feet faster.\n\nI drinks lots of Orange juice and take zinc. I find a daytime cold medicine during the day alieviates alot of the symptoms and use a night time cold medication at night so I can get as good a nites sleep as possible.\n\nPlan at least 1-2 days of complete rest to start off though to help prevent any relapse.

Dramatically lower the temperature in your home.  Exercise outdoors when it's cold, especially mornings. Make breakfast your biggest meal of the day. No nutritional intake for two hours before bedtime. Follow the recommended U.S.D.A. food pyramid.  Don't sleep fetal . . .sleep flat on your back with three pillows under your knees. Meditation. Drink LOTS of water. And, walk one mile briskly a day after evening meal. Takes only four - five days to notice a change.

Anything warm to drink will help open your nasal passages, like chicken soup. If you have a cough you could try some honey and lemon juice mixed together. You just sip it. It really does work for me. Good luck.

I have suggested many of the following natural treaments for cold with great success. \n\nAmp up on Vitamin C and Zinc. Drink a glass of hot green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the morning.\n\nEat only fruits and vegatables during the day plus avoid mucous creating foods such as milk, bread and cheese. Fast from eating meat as your digestive system needs to be ridding itself of toxins and meat will slow down the process. Avoid refined sugar in sugary drinks.\n\nAdd a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and one or two drops of wild oregeno oil to a glass of apple juice, pomogranete juice or grape juice three times a day. Add cayenne if you have mucous in your chest, eyes, ears, nose or throat. Drink six glasses of distilled water each day. Drink three glasses of clean water with 1/4 tablespoon of unrefined sea salt.\n\nDrink a glass of hot Green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the evening with Camomile and take a hot bath before you go to bed. Sit in a bathtub with hot water. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon cayenne. Sweat out the toxins and go to sleep.\n\nAll sickness comes from the gut. By alkalizing your body and cleansing you will not only cure your cold but also give your body, gut, and skin a wonderful treat.\nSource(s):
