I'm miserable in bed with a cold! Looking for anything to try and shorten the duration of this cold so I can go out for New Year's. So far I have a steam machine in my room and I've been drinking broth/tea and Emergen-C nonstop. Any suggestions??
Home remedies for the common cold?

The old standby, chicken soup makes me feel temporarily better and plenty of rest/fluids and food. (I get super hungry when I have a cold). I've read echinacia can reduce the duration some, but not sure any of those things work. I do however, remember a few times using Zicam and it helped a lot. Get well soon! I know it sucks...I was sick in Oct.

Using zinc and other supplements helps me if it's early. If not, I mostly use chicken soup. Get well soon!
