You can't do much more than this.  Airborne doesn't have anything in it that those two do, so that's kinda out.

I recommend the alkaseltzer super strength cold medicine stuff...it takes effect fast, and I really don't feel that drowsy from it.  I have a cold right now as well, and have been doing the Airborne and Alkaseltzer, I'm starting day three today and feel better than yesterday and probably better than two days ago.

I have had the same thing since Sunday, SD. I've been drinking and smoking to get through it. Feeling better day by day.

"Throat coat" tea makes me feel better temporarily. It's also very tasty.

I am almost certain Airborne is bullshit.  Pete is right on about Alka Seltzer cold.  That stuff works miracles instantly.  I would plan on using it 3-4 times a day.

If you still need help, go to an urgent care and ask for a steroid shot.  I've done it twice and it worked quickly both times.   I'm not sure what kind of steroid it is.
