Go to bed early. Drink plenty of fluids. Don't forget to eat.
Sometimes vitamin C & D supplements will help.

There are thousands of different types of colds. If it was flu and you have had it for a week or more then go see a doctor straight away.
The best way to determine if you've got the flu is the £20 test. Drop a twenty pound note at your feet , if you don't have the energy to pick it up it's flu.
As I mentioned previously there are thousands of types of colds. If it's a head cold take paracetamol
And hot drinks . I would also recommend eating a hot spicy curry . You may think im pulling your leg but a lot of the bacteria that is bunging you up lives from the end of your nose to your sinuses.
Eat the curry , blow your nose regularly with clean soft tissue and hopefully you'll be cleared up xx

take Calpol or something similar before you sleep, also get an early night. A hot drink will also help
then throughout the day, take cough sweets (making sure you can do so with the other medication)
don't do any strenuous activity that may make you feel worse
try and sleep on your back at night
