Answers:
The best thing I've used is Aleve Cold and Sinus. It's the only thing I take now for a cold. It takes effect in about 20 minutes and I feel better for hours. It's great because it doesn't make me drowsy, but will let you sleep better as you can breathe! It's the only thing I would recommend. My girlfriend recommends it too, and she's a pharmacy technician for Walgreens.
After about 48-72 hours I'm nearly 100%. Powerful, long-lasting, non-drowsy. What more can you ask for?
Also, take a few Vitamin C and Zink pills. If you start to feel like you're coming down with a cold, try the Zicam nasal spray. It works wonders to shorten the cold if you do it before you get congested.
