Hmmm... well I guess I could help you there, and I say so because I haven't had a full-fledged cold for over 2 years now. And I don't take flu shots either. No medication. Let's start with the basics, as you know no two cold viruses are the same, that's why medication doesn't always work. But all cold viruses have something in common. They divide at the back of our throat. So keep that clean and you won't get a cold ever. Now this will be just a tiny bit graphic, but trust me, it works. Now you already have a cold, so in the morning when you get up, and you're brushing your teeth, brush the back of your tongue really good, and gargle out all the mucous from your throat and then blow your nose and get rid of the mucus there too. You will have relief for almost the whole day and then before you got to bed, do the same, you'll have a cold-free night too. Now, you can do this everyday, regardless of whether you have a cold or not, as this will also prevent it. Sometimes when I feel like I'm about to have a cold, I do the same, I do it everyday actually. And you know, right before you catch a cold, the first symptom is waking up with an achy throat, well, do this and you will feel a very little bit of the symptoms but you won't get the actual cold. It's all about you against the virus, and let me tell you, if you do this you have a very good chance of winning.
