Rest and soup: Your body's defenses will help fight the virus causing the common cold. We don't have a cure, but rest and chicken soup will help you feel better.

Cold: Hydrate, saline spray, warm steam all help. All of the OTC drugs help but have to watch for side effects especially if you have any heart issues

Common cold: Hi, rest, warm fluid, soup, steaming with hot water, taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) and gurgling salt water. Feel better soon.
