Yes and no. There is no real cure to the common cold, only things that can help you get better faster - such as Orange Juice or chicken noodle soup - because of their nutritional contents. Spicy foods fall into that category.

Spicy foods tend to contain antioxidants, which in general are good for you and will give a boost to your immune system. They also tend to contain anti-bacterial substances, which doesn't help the cold since a cold is usually caused by a virus, but it will help your body prevent or fight off secondary infections by bacteria. It will also give tempoarary relief for congestion.
