Colds are just vile - especially the ones that drag on and on. I offer my favourite old-fashioned remedy in the fairly certain assumption that you're too sensible to use it:
Squeeze a fistful of lemons into a large mug. Add as much whisky as you can drink without getting a hangover. Top up with boiling water (depending on your alcohol tolerance, there may not be much topping up involved). Add sugar or honey to taste. Drink. Get into a bed with every blanket you own piled onto it. Sweat. Pass out.

It usually makes me feel better, anyway...
