Answers:
Orange juice is high in Vitamin C and has been recommended for years to help. Also Home Made chicken soup. Some people say to use Zinc Lozenges also. Also be sure to get lots of rest and drink lots of other fluids, like water, decaf tea, Sprite or 7-up. Alcohol is dehydrating/drying to the tissues. Take very warm showers or make a tent with a towel over a pot of steamy water, don't burn your face. Breathe the vapors in deeply. Stay warm, don't chill. Colds are viral and usually have to run their course, about 7 days.
Vitamin C always helps! so drink loads and loads of orange juice ... other simple options would be taking something like lemsip and having loads of sleep :-)
