take cold-eeze. It helps cut the duration of the cold and the intensity, just make sure to take it exactly how the package says too! also a TON of sleep will help!!

Fisherman's Friend for the congestion and throat.

take lots of vitamin c and eat fruits and veggies. stay away from dairy products. they will make the cold worse

Drink a lot of fluids, preferably gatorade or water. Avoid dairy. I was turned on to these AMAZING throat drops called Cepacol. They will numb your throat.

 

Otherwise, pound the OJ, take tons of Vitamin C, hot, steamy showers, Vitamin B, Iron...

Fastest way to get over a cold is actually to water fast.... But you won't hear many drug companies or doctors putting that out there because they don't make a whole lotta money off of water fasting.

 

I fast regularly, but especially during a cold. Cuts the cold down to a maximum of 3 days from onset. But I'm not a doctor. Good luck!

Wear long sleeves and warm clothings. Drink hot drinks, don't skip meals, and sleep at least 8-10hours. Exercise will help also, but stay warm.

 

This is the longer way, and whether or not you'll be good by Friday depends on what hit you and your current immune system.

I heard working out when ur sick is bad...because your body is weak! and ur supposed to rest it.
