A member asked:

I am going in a date this weekend and i've had a cold for two days how can i get rid of it quick?

Viral infections: Run their course and there's not much you can do to prevent that. You can use oral decongestants and nasal sprays that will temporarily help you feel better, but the symptoms will tend to wax and wane until the infection resolves.
