Other Answers:
Believe it or not if you take Tylenol when you very first sneeze or feel the cold coming on you will not get the cold. Once you have it, let it take it's course.
I say drink hot milk with honey and tea. But try drinking THERA FLU twice a day.

Excercise is the best thing to prevent a cold. I have'nt had a cold in over 10 years because I excercise and make sure to get loads of vitamin C to help boost my studly immune system. My immune system is grade A stud.
TREATMENT
There is no cure for the common cold, but you can get relief from your cold symptoms by

* Resting in bed
* Drinking plenty of fluids
* Gargling with warm salt water or using throat sprays or lozenges for a scratchy or sore throat
* Using petroleum jelly for a raw nose
* Taking aspirin or acetaminophen, Tylenol, for example, for headache or fever

A word of caution: Several studies have linked aspirin use to the development of Reye's syndrome in children recovering from flu or chickenpox. Reye's syndrome is a rare but serious illness that usually occurs in children between the ages of 3 and 12 years. It can affect all organs of the body but most often the brain and liver. While most children who survive an episode of Reye's syndrome do not suffer any lasting consequences, the illness can lead to permanent brain damage or death. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children and teenagers not be given aspirin or medicine containing aspirin when they have any viral illness such as the common cold.
