The MOMENT I feel like I am getting sick, I take 1/2 of a Zinc caplet, and 1000 mg of Vitamin C. Supposedly the Zinc and C shorten the duration of the illness.
Because colds are a virus, there is really nothing else you can do except treat the symptoms.
I drink LOTS of water, and take hot honey Chamomile tea for any congestion I might experience. Usually I have the opposite problem...so I take allergy medication to try to stop my nose from running.

@4meAndyou black tea with honey is good too, especially at the onset. The boy was sick yesterday & I made him black tea with honey. He felt well enough to go to school. Gave him supplements too. Made a big pot of chicken-noodle soup for dinner too. Bromelain is an enzyme in pineapple and very helpful for breaking up mucous. And hot chicken soup with plenty of garlic and thyme is good too. Thyme helps with congestion, can make a tea with it as well.
