The best way to deal with the common cold is to drink loads of fluid and take hot baths

Answer 2

If you catch it shortly after its onset (24-48 hours after symptoms start), you can try zinc lozenges, which have been clinically proven to shorten the duration of the common cold. Besides that, plenty of fluids and lots of rest are the best prescription.

Sleep. Also, try and eat and drink things with lots of vitamin C in them, such as Oranges, other citrus fruits and Orange Juice. Maybe take vitamin C tablets/supplements
