Besides keeping hydrated and lots of rest, anyone have any tricks to beat a cold quicker? I'm just getting a cold, and I feel like it could be a rough one... and I'm in the middle of a night shift, with 2 more nights to go! Please help!

    Zicam seems to work for some. It's a homeopathic remedy with zinc. My wife is convinced it shortens her colds. I'm not sure it works so well for me, but it's worth a try.

    Zinc supposedly helps. I personally take nyquil and benadryl when it is bedtime. It seems to speed things along.

    I hope that you get over the cold rapidly. I currently and fighting a cough and a bit of a cold, makes it hard to work out, everytime I do my cough gets worse. I would try some emergen-c. I love that stuff! And continue eating healthy, and get plenty of sleep, when your body sleeps it heals itself.
