    nope colds last as long as they want to...they isn't anything that really fights a cold all medicine does is back up your immune system. i just had a cold that lasted six weeks! not to scare you just saying you don't get to choose!

    a cold is a virus a virus isn't like bacteria its not dead or alive so you can't kill it. it just is. but your body fights it! so don't worry the best thing you can do is sleep and get lots of vitamins in your system and NO SUGAR!!! that will do the opposite effect!! so no Orange juice (an actual Orange is fine though) and don't waste your money on a doctor visit unless your symptoms get worse, there is not a thing the doc can do for a cold!

    well get better soon,i will pray for you!

    I don't know where you are but, despite the winter temps, the fungus and other assorted "visitors from nature" are "alive and well" year around where I am. Let a doc officially diagnose you before you go any further with meds. They can answer all of your questions for you and treat you correctly.
