Try wrapping yourself in your qulit with a cup of hot milk that works for me. It does take all day and gives you an excuse not to do anything at all.

Bottled water is a good way to get rid of a cold if you feelit comin. Chug the volvic and usually keeps it away for me....

Well it always works for me. If nothing else its a good excuse for a few drinks. But i wouldn't advise it if you had a dodgy stomach cause it probably would make you feel worse. But its good for sore throats and head colds .

Remember to wear a bag over your head if you do go out on Thursday so you don't give it to your friends.

And to hide your hideous face as well.

Drink plenty of water to help get rid of whatever's in your system and eat lots of fruit loaded with vitamin C, that'll always help you out a bit.

Re: whats the best way to get rid of a cold?

eat something spicy, drink loads of coffee or something equally caffeinated, and that should give you the energy to get through the night. you might feel worse the next day, but you gotta make some sacrifices.
