Sounds a bit like you have the flu, and not a simple cold.
For cold symptoms I've been relying on Zinc products like Cold Eeze the last couple years. They've reduced symptoms to zilch and sped recovery to 2-3 days. The key seems to be starting them the moment I noticed symptoms, so not sure it'll do any good for you at this point.
If it's a placebo, nya nya nya I'm not listening to you! (with fingers firmly plugging my ears)
