No Magic Bullets: While there are many tales about colds and infections, there is no proven way to get over the symptoms any quicker once you are infected. Things like healthy diet, staying active (as long as you don't have fever), and watching your hands can improve your odds of not becoming ill, once infected, you're at the mercy of your immune system and time.
