    Eat a few cloves of raw garlic today. This isn't a cure but hopefully it can lessen the symptoms.

    Zicam.
    It really works if you catch it early enough.
    At the very least it shortens the duration of the cold.

    B-vitamins and C-vitamins are working for me now. But you should also look at this all-or-nothing thinking. Surely taking a day or two off to nurse a cold won't kill your schedule.

    Get some extra vitamins especially C and D and make sure your zinc intake is good. Also drink warm liquids like tea or broth to help clear mucus. I woke up with a runny nose on Sunday and this seemed to help me. You may also want to decrease your workout loads for a couple of days to avoid injury.

    I have something similar. My tonsils are swollen too. Think it's a sinus infection. I got flonase and sudafed. Gonna take a deload training week as well.

    I have a cold coming on, too, and Googled "natural remedies" just this morning. I have a Minor in Nutrition and am not big on supplements, etc. But, I do trust WebMd. This is what I found: http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/8-tips-to-treat-colds-and-flu-the-natural-way Good luck!

    just rest. No one wants your cold germs so consider that as well. Nothing worse than seeing sick people at a gym, knowing you have to touch the same stuff or come into close contact with them....the cold isn't forever and will soon be gone, then you can get back into it. Personally for me, couple of things make me feel better. I heat up some pineapple juice with a teaspoon of honey in the microwave , or the old school chicken soup works well.
    Hope you feel better soon

    I tend to just get plenty of vit C, drink loads of fluids and get some rest.
