Count to 259,200, the number of seconds in 3 days and it will probably be gone. Nothing really alters the duration of a cold.
Take appropriate doses of paracetamol and plenty of fluids, topical throat sprays, such as Diflam or chloraseptic, may reduce local discomfort. DO NOT gargle with salt water of aspirin, this is irritant and makes the throat more inflamed.
Honey, oranges, lemons, garlic, alcohol, zinc, vitamins, including high dose vitamin C, soup, alcohol, teas and echinacea have all been demonstrated to be worthless.Health Question & Answer

People might tell you to consume plenty vitamin C however this is actually only beneficial as a prevention more than a cure (ie take it when people around you have a cold and it will help you from catching it.)
A cold is one of those things you can't cure, however if you still feel under the weather and want to alleviate your symptoms I would recommend taking an anti-histamine or a cold and flu remedy for a temporary fix. With plenty fluids and rest you should be over it a few days. Keep your chin up. xHealth Question & Answer

Try Echinacea - it is a herbal product which helps increase your resistance to illness by boosting your immune system.
Scientific trials have been done on it and certain chemicals in it were found to be effective.
I have found it does help things move on faster although one pharmacist I know reckons he takes it as soon as he gets the first sniffle and his colds are always milder than any of his customers and last less time.Health Question & Answer
