      Hi River,

      I’m afraid when it comes to getting rid of your cold– you’ve just got to wait for your immune system to kick in and clear all the virus out! In the meantime you can manage your symptoms to make you feel better. These ‘management’ techniques include:

      *Using steam or a humidifier to help remove the mucous from your nose– making you feel less blocked up.
      *If you’ve got a cough, use honey and lemon to soothe your throat irritation.
      *Keeping yourself hydrated– it really does help you feel less groggy and bunged up.
      *Make sure you get plenty of rest and sleep. If you overexert yourself, it will take longer for your immune system to make an impact!

      Hope this helps!
