Depends on what type of cold, your body, and how it responds to the cold. Most of them should leave in a few days, but could take longer if you don't have your own antibodies

depends on your immune system. have a hot toddy and early night and call me in the morning.

Depends on your immune system, i eat lots of garlic and onions with my foods and i havent been sick in 10 years. And i am immune to poison ivy because i got it so much as a kid it doesnt bother anymore. Foods can boost your immune system greatly without running to the doctor for antibiotics which most mothers do now when their kid has a sniffle.

Seven days if you dont treat it one week if you do. LOL . A cold takes its own course depending on the severity and other factors. Basically only the symptoms are alleviated by treatment.

try zicam. it shortens the length and severity of a cold

To get rid of a cold? If it is a bacterial infection 24-72 hours. If it is a viral infection it can take up to 2 weeks. Both can weaken your immune system and make way for an opportunistic infection, this means a bug (usually bacteria) that wouldn't normally make you sick will cause a prolonged sickness because of your lowered immune system. You can usually tell if this is the case because your symptoms will change a bit, like a cough in your throat goes into your chest or you develop a sinus infection later on in your illness.

a few days
