What is the best best cure for cold, home remedies please, ?

There are no cures: The common cold is due to one of a dozen or so viruses, none of which are treatable with medication currently available. You can alleviate symptoms of congestion, fever, cough with a variety of otc products that your friendly pharmacist will be happy to recommend. Hope you feel better quickly.
