Answers:
You can't get rid of it - it is a virus. But you can minimize the symptoms.
Try vitamin C (oranges is the best choice, especially if you've got a sore throat)
Soup - broth based, like chicken noodle, vegetable
Tea
Cold medication, of course. During the day get the day-time stuff; at night get the night time. If you take the day stuff before you sleep, you won't sleep. If you take the night stuff during the day, you'll be really out of it or tired.
Tylenol for the pain
LOTS OF LIQUIDS. Doesn't matter if it's straight water or juice, but drink a lot of liquid.
Tissues. Lots and lots of tissues.
The cold will be out of your system in about a week but your body will still be recovering. You'll have the sniffles and coughing and all of that fun stuff, but you'll be over the rougher part.Health Question & Answer
