My favorite symptom remedies/reliefs are

1. For stuffy/runny noses. Pseudophedrine Hydrocloride (In any formula robitussin Tylenol Cold Etc.)
2. For Temp or achy joints. Acedaminophen (sp?) i.e. Tylenol.
3. For productive coughs. Guafinesin (sp? again) expectorant.
4. For Dry or productive coughs. Cough drops and Vicks Vapo rub
5. For sore throats. Cloroseptic Losenges or spray.

If you are looking for more natural remedies/symptom relief there is.
1. Ecinacea
2. Onion pack on the chest for congestion. This really works wonders (was Moma's remedy)but is nasty to endure. Smells to high heaven and uncomfortable. You cut up and fry an onion then once it cools enough to touch to layer them between some old hand towels or similar cloth. Lay that on your chest till it starts feeling a little cool.
3. Drink Lemon juice from fresh lemons. WITHOUT sugar. ICKY Yes but it always seemed to help.
4. Drink Chamomile Tea. again without sugar.
5. Drink lots of water of if you can't stand that lots of clear liquids like mentioned above.

Last but definately not least. Rest, rest, and more rest. Sleep is the best thing for getting better.

I Usually by the generic stuff cause I know what chemicals to look for.

The normal expected duration for most viruses is 7-10 days. If you aren't feeling better after 10 days or your sinus drainages turn thick green (I know lovely description. lol) that is sometimes an indication of a secondary infection that should be tended to by a Doctor. Get it checked if it goes too long. Good luck getting better.
