start supplementing with Vitamin C.

Some ppl take vitamin C year round, but that's a waste of time. It won't prevent colds, but it will help you get better faster.

oh and I think Zinc helps as well.

You can minimize the symptoms with Alka Seltzer cold medicine (always works great for me), Tylenol cold... But you really cannot get better faster. It has to run its course.
I hope you feel better.

Me too!
But... the best way to shorten and reduce the symptoms is by using some natural immune boosters.
Echinacea/Goldenseal & Zinc lozengers or Zicam - all available from drug store - take a bunch... in 3 days all better :-) (colds usually last up to 9 days!!!)
Nyquil etc.. good as a 'bandaid' for symptoms - but won't help heal faster like the herbals.
be well... sniff.

Oh yeah... be sure to have a full tummy before sucking on the zinc tabs... but they really work.

Plop-plop fizz-fizz cold medicine for sure. Too bad it tastes like crap. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] But that [censored] works miracles.

Am I the only person that actually likes the taste of Alka-Seltzer?
