i find stuff to soothe the throat AND clear a bunged up nose AND kill headaches/sinus pain is the CURE.

SOOthe the throat cures:

lemsip
honey+lemon
hot drinks WITHOUT milk! (milk produces cattarh and make u cough
herbal teas

NOSE

really strong hot curry/spicy mexican food
drinking concentrated (ie undiluted squash sugarfree)juice eg lemon or tropical works for me- just a small sip should make nose run
drink hot stuff
put head over bowl of boiling water n breath the steam (helps throut too)
eucalyptus oil breath in smell

Head

asprin/nurofen

hope u feel better :flowers:

Plenty of fluids, and blow your nose lots so you don't get phlegm on your chest.

I thought you weren't supposed to blow your nose lots as it pushes a lot of the bad stuff back up your nose and prolongs the cold? Bit icky if you don't blow it when it needs it though.
