Answer:
Relax and wait for it to go away as unfortunately there are no remedies that either reduce severity or duration.

Take plenty of fluids, appropriate doses of paracetamol and avoid quack remedies. Many of there 'cold' cures are sold as useful by so called educated pharmacists who really should know better. Others such as Vitamins, high dose vitamin C, zinc oranges, lemons, honey, soup and echinacea are just mythology.

Answer:
Eat raw garlic every day ! I swear by it. Have not had a cold all winter when all around me did. As for the smell just suck a few mints after or/and clean your teeth. Garlic helps the immune system to fight of bacteria and viruses.

Answer:
9000 mgs of Vitamin C. Split that up into three portions, one with each meal. I usually see a large difference in 1-2 days. OF course, drink plenty of fluids, sleep and eat well.
