maybe you are taking too much medicine, thinking will make you feel better, but sometimes can have opposite affect and make you feel worse.
Trying more natural remedies.. eat more fresh foods, fruits, plenty of vitamin c in your diet. and high vitamin drinks can help fight against colds and flues
Could also try hot milk and honey.. Itt was suggested to me long ago when i felt really ill with flu, i wasnt too sure about it.. but really, its wonderful..and did really help... Honey is wonderful for colds.. umm also hot lemon with spoon of honey is another suggestion.
Obviously if keep feeling like this.. you should get advice from doctor.. maybe you stressed out with school so your immunity system becomes low..
take care, hope you feel better soon :)

I know how you feel, the common cold is incurable unfortunatly. I get cold quite often and they can be quite bad and can come with other problems such as an ear infection or toncilitus. When I have a cold, I drink lots of water throughout the day, try to keep my nose clear, take lemsips which actually help me alot. Use a well known brand as they help the best. I get lots of sleep and usually it doesnt last that long.
Hope this helps

If you keep thining about being sick, your going to be sick a lot longer. Start thinking that your going to get better soon. Keep your mind active so as to not get bored and focus on it, drink lots of water, get plenty of rest too.

The drowsiness comes primarily from the cold medicines. They have the tendency to promote drowsiness. I suggest taking no-drowse medicine so that your cold will not affect your performance in school and work. And about the way you speak. You can't really help that. Just blow your nose each time and eat soups or drink lots of liquids to dilute the mucus a bit. There's my tip. hope that helps ^^
