Get rid of a cold faster?

I'm not sure if there's any way to get over a cold faster, but you can ease the symptoms. I try to get a lot of rest first and foremost. If it comes with a sore throat, "honey lemon tea" works well. It isn't really tea, though, it's basically hot lemonade with honey instead of sugar to coat your throat. For stuffiness, I just take a hot shower. It doesn't last long, but nice in the meantime. Then NyQuil to sleep!

For the sore throat I use tequila.
If the smell of tequila didn't make me sick, I'd try that
Whenever I have a cold, I drink lots of orange juice and eat soup. I also take mucinex and it works better than other cold medicines at least for myself. Get some rest as well, and you can get over it a bit faster. Though if your symptoms get worse and last a long time, you should consult your doctor.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but drinking warm water is one of the most effective ways.

Well, the first and last don't actually do any sort of respiration. Hmm. My joke is scientifically inaccurate. 🙁
Covonia
I am currently still getting rid of a virus, had it now for almost 4 weeks. No way to get rid of it just having to let it run it's course.
For a cold. I have lemon/lime, ginger, cayenne pepper tea. vit c, peppermint tea, menthol rubs, sleep.
Unfortunately a cold for me will last as long as it likes because I have a weak immune system. So I use a mask when going to public places to prevent me getting people's germs. usually :/

I love Covonia. Used it when I had a cough due to COVID a few weeks ago, and it helped great with that too. Works great for colds/flu too

- Potato soup is another good one to eat if you're sick. It's feels good going down when you eat it. My grandmother use to make it whenever someone would get sick. We'd always call it miracle soup because we'd always feel better when we ate it.
- Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc and Elderberry are good ones to take.
- Muccinex is good to help get rid of the cough.

rest, rest and rest and water is just what the doctor ordered.
Seriously screw the Vitamin C and other craps that doesn't actually addresses the symptoms in the meantime.
NyQuil (the liquid and Night Time stuffs) however is a good bet I heard and have a good time with to ensure a good night sleep. 👍
If your in luck just by resting and drinking water seriously it may improve in just after a few days (those the worst, the next few days you get them).

If the cold isn't heavy, for me is good a lemon juice with a little spoon of olive oil. I usually drink it in the morning before breakfast. But be careful with this juice if you suffer from stomach issues as severe gastritis or ulcers.
