First of all, hello everyone..

Now , here's the thing, I'm going to have a surgery this Friday but I managed to get a cold, I'm like coughing and have a runny nose, but there's no way I can go under the knife like this.. gonk I really wouldn't like to wait another 1,5 half months D:

So yeah, any ideas how to get rid of the cold like REALLY REALLY fast???

(so far I've been keeping myself really warm, wearing a scarf, taking cough medicine,making different steams to myself( eucalypt and bicarb) also every evening wearing a mustard patch(not sure its the right translation) for a short time.And hot tea of course!, also sweating in a sauna.)

I can't think of anything else to do, so please, some tips about getting well again? sweatdrop

I don't think there really is a proven way to get rid of a cold significantly faster once you have it. Taking vitamin C will help prevent you from getting sick in the first place, but it won't really help if you already have the cold. The only thing I can think of that might help flush the germs out is to make sure you drink plenty of water. And that's obviously not a magic cure-all; it's just generally good for your immune system if you stay well hydrated. You can manage the symptoms with cold medicines (decongestants, antihistamines, cough suppressants, expectorants, etc), but it doesn't actually make the cold go away faster. Just gives you some relief. xd

I always drink Hot water,
either that to get rid of runny nose, it really depends for me. Just make sure you use tissue.
Something like Steam helps. it like unclogs your nose.
Coughing.
Something like Honey helps me. I think it might help you ( Use that trick all the time. )
or coughing meds.
I hope you feel better.

Garlic and ginger. I don't know why. Breathing in the steam from a cup of tea will help your nose drain.

Honey! Lots and lots of raw honey! Honey cleared up my dog's Kennel Cough (doggy influenza *flu* ) within hours and closed up a nasty cut I had with in a day! It's a natural antibiotic and healing booster.

Also orange juice and zinc supplements.
