Colds are from viruses, so they weren't cureable, but the symptoms are not as severe as for other illnesses, so people did not usually go to the doctor for them. Doctors were expensive and reserved for serious illnesses and injuries. There was also some distrust between common folks and physicians of the past so most people relied upon folk medicine and "Granny women", who were the folk healers back in the day.
Chicken soup actually has a natural antihistamine that is helpful when dealing with colds and flus and definitely known to be used by the healers. Cherry bark tea and draughts of honey, lemon and whiskey were all considered helpful for chest congestion. Elderberry juice was cooked down with spices into a syrup and served warm or cold, helped raise a sweat that might break a fever. It was also helpful with chest congestion and has been scientifically proven today to help shorten the flu.
