Best ways to get over a common cold quick?

I know that everyone is different, but what is the best way to overcome a common cold (Coughing, runny nose) quickly?

What I usually do is stay in bed all day and keep tissues at hand. I'm on my second box now. Sometimes, that helps it go away within 2-3 days. Sometimes, it'll also stick around for about a week..

Also try two cap fulls of unfiltered vinegar in a glass of water. I do like the lemon idea, does the same thing. Will help your throat.
I hear pepper is really good for you. Try a small amount of that something sweet to drink after.
