So I can feel a cold coming on, I want to be healthy for a get together on the weekend. Should I work out and try to sweat it out or should I relax and let my body rest so it will fight it?

There are some good suggestions here, I personally increase my Vitamin C and Zinc intake. I also use the echinacea tea.

Get yourself some Zicam oral spray, or tablet melts and take it every 4 hours. The zinc in that stuff really helps cut down on the severity and duration of a cold. I have a cold and I worked out and actually felt better. Let your body be your judge. I do know that regular exercisers have a higher immunity, so make working out a lifelong habit. :-) Feel better.0

Emergen-C twice a day with a bit of honey and rest if you can.0
