A cold is a viral infection, and your body needs to fight the virus internally. Nothing you can take through your mouth will kill the virus.

So rest and a few days will work. Three days getting it, three days having it, and three days getting rid of it is normal.

One thing you can do it treat the symptoms. I use "cold and flu" tablets with make the symptoms go away for 4 hours, if I have to work.
