Nothing

You could use a nose spray to clear the swelling in thy nose if it drips but after using it more than a week, it stops working to create an endless cycle and in the end you'll have atrophy of something in the nose (Can explain it better in Dutch)



Oh and knowing a cold is a viral infection, any form of antibiotics is useless as they don't work on viruses.

If you can handle spicy foods, then I suggest hot and sour soup. Helps clear yours sinuses and congestion. Plus, it's tasty. :D

Get all your blankets onto your bed. Heat up some blackcurrent juice, drink that, then got to bed and sweat it out while you sleep.

Thats what i do! ;)

Liquid, theraflu powder mix (tastes like shitty tea but it works), humidifier, and (contrary to popular belief) get moving.

All those things can't fix a cold.
It might relieve some symptoms but that's hardly the same as clearing a viral infection.

If you can find a woman who will allow you to have sex with her while suffering from a sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing and coughing let me know. :P

well, it may sound weird..

but for anything from a flu to a cold, I go drinking..

after a good night of drinking you'll have a hangover the next morning, but the everything is gone. Works like a charm for me.
Learnt it from the drinkers all mighty in my class...

And I'm not shitting you.
