When I was younger, along Doc's advice, I sought to kill the cold with a treatment involving first taking two anti-inflamatory pain killers, and drinking a liter of water to prevent any trouble from a hang over...
... due to my home grown cure of drinking large amounts of warmed spiced brandy and honey, whilst snuggling in warm woolen blankets by a crackling fire, reading a good novel until unconciousness. I'm not sure it worked, but I know I didn't care.
Now I try more healthy methods. Your immune system is the only way of combating the common cold virus, so whatever you can do to prop up your immune system will be the key to defeating it quickly. Take a daily vitamin, drink at least eight glasses of water or juice per day, eat healthy foods rich in antioxidents (like citrus, or garlic), suck on zinc lozenges, and get an adequate amount of sleep. Also, try to remove any other stresses on your immune system.
