Two things: GARLIC and HONEY

Get whole cloves of garlic, and peel them, put them on a plate and zap them in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Get a tablespoon and put a clove on teh spoon and dunk the spoon in warm honey. Put it in your gob and swallow...what ever you do - DO NOT CHEW!! lol
Take about 5-10 cloves a day for a few days.
You may ooze garlic, but the cold will be gone wthin 2-3 days
