What do you do to make you feel better when you have a cold?

Right now, I am feeling horrible with a sniffly nose, sore throat, dizziness and my joints are all stiff. My cough is horrible as well.

Im scaring off all of my friends (with swine flu going around my area…you never know).

I have a big event next week and weekend, and want to feel much better by then! How can I?
