+1 on the Airborne.
I also pound down and Odwalla C-Monster, a super high vitamin C fruit drink.
I finish things off with my "Cold Killer" chicken soup.
Fill your favorite stock pot about half full with chicken broth.
Throw in:
(2) jalapenos, cut in half
(1) lemon, cut in quarters
(1) piece of lemon grass, pounded to release oils
1/2 dozen or so peppercorns
(1) tsp red chili flakes (or more)
(1) onion, cut in quarters
simmer all of this for about half an hour,
strain out all of the solids and discard
while this is simmering, cook up some of your favorite noodles,
shred up some cooked chicken meat (grocery store rotisserie chickens work well if you don't have any leftovers from last nights grilling)
dice up some carrots, celery, onion, bok choy, etc... what ever your favorite vegetables are
throw some noodles, chicken, and diced vegetables into a bowl, ladle on some of your chicken broth, and grab a box of kleenex.

No problem...
but don't forget the kleenex...
not only does this stuff nourish the body,
but it REALLY clears out the sinuses...
you can adjust the heat levels as you see fit...
the spicier the better... |

Airbourn, Vitamin C and TONS of WATER!
I don't go over the recommended AirBourn suggestions, but I do pop an extra tab of Vitamin C in with the regimen... I also have tried the chewy Zicam thingers... but I stick to the AirBourn...
not sure if it works tho...

A friend of mine swears by his remedy. Eating whole cloves of raw garlic!
Never could bring myself to try it. I LOVE garlic, but hoy!
Suppose it would work in keeping you from spreading the cold to other people
