See below: Most over-the-counter medications have been found not to significantly alter the course of colds anyway, so try to avoid them. Liquids, tylenol (acetaminophen) at recommended doses and rest should get you through.

Cold: Tips: sore throat – gargle with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt in 8 oz of water). Get strep test/culture if very sore. Congestion – saline nose drops or netti pot. For anti-inflammatory effect & mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup. Hydrate- lots of water/clear broth/ add honey & asmall amt. Of lemon juice to chamomile tea. Rest as needed.
