If you have a cold, here are some ways to get better quickly. Get plenty of rest to allow your body to recover. Drink lots of fluids like water and herbal teas to stay hydrated. Take over-the-counter medications for symptom relief, such as pain relievers for aches and decongestants for a stuffy nose. Eat nutritious foods, especially those rich in vitamin C. Use a humidifier to keep the air moist and ease breathing. Avoid smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. Wash your hands frequently to prevent spreading the cold to others. ????
