It is good to consume enough fluids during a cold or cough. There are no products, OTC or herbal that can cure a cold or shorten its duration. There are some OTC products that can lessen the symptoms during the cold, but that's it. All herbal products have no proven benefits at all, they are completely useless.
echinacia, astragalus, golden seal, propolis. All herbs, can be bought in pills or tinctures. echinacia and astragalus boost the immune system and golden seal and propolis are anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Golden seal can only be taken for 1 week at a time. The others can all be taken as prevention too.
Peppermint, Yarrow and Elderflower Tea.

Use a neti pot with warm salts water to clear sinuses. Buy one at the health fooscdtore. Drink Emergen C for viitaminc to fight the bug and keep down nausea. You can make a hot tea of it to soothe sore throat
