A close friend of yours has got cancer and you are posting here about getting rid of your cold?

First of all, make sure you don't make it any worse. That means warm clothes , loads of rest and under no circumstances should you do any hard work or excercise. So bring out those wool socks grandma got you for christhmas ( just knew they had to be good for something didnt you ? ) and stay home with a good book, a cup of darjeeling with a slice of lemon on the side and maybe phone a good friend for moral support. Oh and if your nose is full of slime, get it out of there and not further up, otherwise your infection will just decide to move downsouth to the warm and humid paradise that is your throat.

I've had one for the past 2 weeks, starting to finally get better, just have to stick colds out really, I took 600mg of vitamin C daily though, whether its helped me or not I don't know.

Hmmm, is 600mg a large dose would you say? If I am not mistaken excessive intake of Vitamin C can cause kidney stones ( Tho this requires an intake far above what you will ever mange from eating oranges ). Well I suppose as long as you follow the package instructions it shouldnt be a problem. Just keep in mind that nothing is good in rediculous ammounts. Its possible to die from an overdose of water as well...

Buy the throat spray, i dunno what's it called but if you ask for a throat spray for a cold at your local chemist, it'll work really well! Best half cure i've experienced.

Tablespoon of honey, melted in a cup of hot water with the juice of one lemon. You can add grated ginger, which helps clear your head.
