Why does a cold take so long to get over? What the best way to get rid of it?
Question:
Answers:
Colds are caused by a number of different viruses. That's the key here. They are viral infections, which means that for the most part, there is no medication that will "cure" the cold. The virus must be conquered by your own body's immune system. You can help that by getting as much rest as possible, ingesting lots of water, and limiting your activities - mostly so that you won't have as much opportunity to infect someone else. You can take measures to avoid colds. Try to stay away from crowded places, as much as you can, and wash your hands often. Carry some of the liquid hand "sanitizer" with you, and use it often - if possible, every time you touch any surface that has been touched by someone else. This will help to keep the viruses away from your mouth, nose, and eyes, the principal entry venues for the viruses.

You could eat spicy food. Or sweat it out. Like I would take a hot shower then bundle up and sweat it out and of course take some type of cold syrup. Always helps me get over it faster.
There is still no way to cure the common cold. WHat works for me is to wait until it becomes an infection someplace, usually it goes to my chest or sinus, then the doctor can treat it.
It shouldn't, you are probably deficient in vitamins C and E.
Rest for two days and it will go away faster. Also, take lots of hot drinks and preferably herbs especially for flus and colds.
Eat fresh fruits, rich in vitamin C.
