"Head colds" that are caused by viruses cannot be quickly eliminated. However, various consumer products are promoted that are designed to boost your immune system. Some may be effective, for some individuals.

See a doctor or health care professional if your symptoms become severe, because there are complications that can be serious.

High fever is the most obvious, and should not be allowed to persist. Chronic coughing can damage your lungs, and accumulated fluid can cause "walking pneumonia"). Irritated throats can develop streptococcal infections.

If your nose and chest are congested, you can sometimes get relief from over-the-counter antihistamines, saline nasal spray, inhalers and other mild treatments. Tylenol (acetaminophen) can reduce fever and headaches and allow you to sleep. The body's own defenses will normally ease the symptoms over time.

No. Getting out in the sun may help get rid of a cold, but running or any physical exercise is contraindicated (not good) when you have a cold. Your body needs rest to do the work to get rid of your cold, so you should avoid strenuous exercise like running if you want to get rid of a cold faster.

Why does the cold make your head hurt?

When something very cold touches the center of the palate, the cold temperature can set off certain nerves that control how much blood flows to your head. The nerves respond by causing the blood vessels in the head to swell up. This quick swelling of the blood vessels is what causes your head to pound and hurt. Some people call this a "brain freeze," even though nothing is really happening in the brain - it's all in the blood vessels of the head.
