thank in advance, help would be much appreciated
Answers:
. A typical cold lasts for 5-7 days. There is NO cure for it, but you can get rid of the symptoms.
Info from the cnn site: "...There's no cure for the common cold. Antibiotics are of no use against cold viruses. Drink lots of fluids. Get some rest. Soothe your throat. Use nasal drops. " ... Over-the-counter cold medications. Nonprescription decongestants and pain relievers offer some symptom relief, ..."
.. I usually use the anti-histamine to dry up the nose and a few aspirin. .
