How to get a over a cold fast? thanks.

No simple solution: Unfortunately, colds can't be treated directly with antibiotics. Despite claims made from OTC products that can make colds go away quicker, there is very little evidence that supports this. I would ask that you try and treat your most bothersome symptoms. If congestion, pseudoephedrine. If cough, dextromethorphan. I wish I had better news! Thanks for your question!
