    Eat the liver of a decaying goat and the utter of an elderly cow. Should do the trick.

    Best of luck.

    Source(s): JUST KIDDING, try gargling warm salt water every half hour and put vics vapo rub on the top of your nose. ALSO drink lots of fluids! Hope you feel better soon.

    A medicated cold lasts a week, an un-medicated cold lasts 7 days, an old saying but very true

    Okay you two completely stupid people, run down to your local pharmacy, spend a fortune on medicine, take it, and I bet you 20 bucks the cold will not go away any faster. There is NO CURE FOR THE COMMON COLD, NONE, You can cover up the symptoms, you can relieve them but you cannot medicate to cure it, so it will take its own sweet time going. You can take a bucket full of vitamin C or any other and it will not cure anything.

    Consume high amounts of Vitamin C & B12.

    Use a nasal inhalant called "Benzedrex" to relieve nasal congestion.

    Use an antihistamine with Dipenhydramine HCL (doses vary).

    These will not "cure" your cold. But it will relieve symptoms.

    To help your cold, the best thing is to sleep. Sleep will rest your body and your energy will help you fight your cold.
