sorry for getting sick but antyhistamines won't help for a cold. they are for allergies (allergy to hystamines is the most common alergy). get some dayquill for daytime and nyquill for the night. and some alka seltzer plus for cold. you will feel better in less than half hour

soup, hot tea, I also drink those lemon tea things that help you fall asleep before sleep! And lots and lots of time just lying down, drinking hot tea, and covering myself so it's warm (that way I sweat)

Most over the counter drugs weaken your immune system, so while they temporarily make the symptoms go away you'll end up being sick longer.

Dayquil or nyquil are the only cold medicines that work on me.

I try to avoid takin OTC meds....I'd rather just let myself heal naturally by taking care of myself. But there are times when I just feel like I've been hit by a MAC truck and I take Tylenol Cold and Sinus.....it's also been proven that something in Chicken Soup does help fight colds....so yah I'd find someone to make me some chicken soup if I were you and get lots of rest.
