I have this killer cold and need some relief. Any ideas for how to fight a cold, relieve symptoms, etc.? I've never really taken OTC cold remedies, but if you use any that are good, or have other ideas, please share. I just feel so crappy and I need to be better. I am willing to buy whatever the drugstore has to offer or cook up a witches brew.

I am taking aspirin and ibuprofen for my headache and fever. And some cough medicine for my cough (dextromethorphan), which is not helping at all. My ribs are just so sore from blowing my nose continually and coughing. And my sinuses are very tender so it makes reading really hard because wearing my reading glasses is painful. Also taking vitamin C. This has been going on for about 5 days and I'm getting so tired. Any ideas???

Thanks.
