It's been 4 days that i am suffering from cold. i have a stuffy nose and sore throat. have real hard time falling asleep. what would you recommend?

Decongestants: You should treat your symptoms optimally. For the nasal congestion, pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine OTC will help, as long as you don't have any cardiovascular or blood pressure problems. Treat the sore throat with analgesics, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Drink plenty of fluids and have a humidifier in the bedroom. If symptoms last greater than 1 week, you may need to see doctor.

In addition: As another treatment to decongestants, you can use a nasal wash (Like a Netti Pot). to flush out the sinus cavity.
