The only thing that will get rid of a virus is time and a healthy immune system. To speed a cold, make sure you are eating enough, drinking plenty of water based beverages, getting all your vitamins and minerals, and getting plenty of rest. This makes sure your body has all the tools it needs to do it's job with a minimum of stress. Other than that, you can treat the symptoms to keep you comfortable. Everyone has their own favorite treatments. From OTC remedies to herbs and homeopathy. Even eating certain foods. Basically, just do whatever makes you feel better. Personally, I like doping up on NyQuil, applying Vick's Vaporub generously, using 4-Way nasal spray to keep the sinuses clear, and drinking hot steaming herbal tea blends all day. Then I lay on the couch and watch TV and sleep. [img]smile.gif[/img]
