I've had a pretty bad cold for about 3 days, the most noticeable part is the terrible cough, but also congested sinuses. It is starting to go away, but tomorrow is really my last day of winter break, and I had plans with a girl. I don't want to cancel them.

How do I get better?

Sometimes starting back from square one does good...

Ask smart questions

Get some pills for your sinuses and cough syrup.

Punch it in the face?

Being serious for a second, there's not much you can do on a days notice besides ignore it.

You don't, and you will infect her at this point. Choice is yours.


If you want to hide it, I'd suggest cough drops, jalapenos, and lots of water.

Why don't we just share the hill?

Get an air conditioner.

Seriously, take medicine and get some rest. You could always just go with the cold and don't tell her.

Lots of them, preferably the vinegar kind. It would clear his sinuses pretty thoroughly.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

You can medicate some/all of your symptoms away, but the cold will be gone when your body is done fighting the infection.

The Day/Night packs of most OTC cold-medicine work reasonably well at getting rid of the clogged sinuses, aches, and so on. The cough though? That's trickier since nearly all of the OTC cough medicines aren't very effective. Other than keeping your throat moist and as soothed as possible, coughing is hard to control without a prescription.

Delsym 12-hour (which is an OTC cough-suppressant that's as "good" as any) in a suspension, has helped me out before.

Call me cheap, but Delsym is pricey as it is not the generic. Is Delsym just DXM?

Any cold/flu medicine with a ton of Vitamin C in it. Alka-Seltzer cold and flu works wonders.

So we're all helping him infect her at this point? Okay...

It's Dextromethorphan in a polistirex suspension. If there is a store-brand (compare to) equivalent, I'd buy that. But wouldn't expect much, Dextromethorphan hasn't done well in effectiveness studies. But then, other than opiates, I am not sure of any OTC that has done well for cough suppression.

no its legit, i used coordinates, set weapon timers the works.

Mucinex is amazing over the counter medicine. So is DayQuil

If you really want to clear it up in a matter of seconds, have someone spray you with pepper spray. You cold will be all over the ground in 10 seconds.
