I think eating a lot of fruits and veggies could still be of great help. Citrus fruit juices are best for drinks. And ofcourse, daily intake of Vitamin C or Ascorbic acid is really essential for this, for increasing our body's resistance to sickness or any other diseases.

Ginger is the best medicinal cure for colds in conventional Chinese medicine as it has lots of antiviral components. Chamomile and eucalyptus can help heals the throat and loosen mucus, bronchial tubes and nasal passages. Echinacea is also good reducing the signs of flu and colds and assists in recovery.

I suggest that you might as well use the Indian rorippa(include herb and flower).It is a herbage belonging to family Cruciferae.ItS component rorifone is an expectorant ,can also inhibit the growth of pneumococcus and influenzae bacillus .

The best herbal medicine for cold and cough the zinger and honey. Some time we can take zinger with salt which is very useful for cough and cold. Some times we can take the juice of zinger with honey for our cough and cold. I always take this medicine to get relief from cough and cold.

The common cold is something tat afflicts everyone whether they are young or old.Personally i do not use any allopathy medicine for it and allow it to run its course.It takes about 4 to 5 days before it subsides completely.If it does not then i take homeopathic medicine.However i have seen that most of the time i do not catch a cold.Actually it is good to catch a cold occaisionally because it removes excess heat from the body and restores the balance in the body.Whenever i catch a cold i have found that it is in the summer and not winter and rainy season as most people do.If you have a bad cold with running nose and eyes then it is best to inhale steam.This removes conjestion of the chest and clears the nostrils.You should also apply Vicks Vapourub on your nose and chest while sleeping.You can also take a spoonful of honey in warm water ,which is good for cough.
