how do you get rid of a cold?
 1. Drink plenty of warm fluids. Drinking warm fluids helps to loosen the secretions in your sinuses so that your mucus flows more freely, making you feel better faster. 2 As you feel better, you can increase it to twice daily. 3 Make a saline solution or buy one from the store. 4 To make your own solution, combine ¼ tsp of kosher or pickling salt, ¼ tsp of baking soda, and 8 ounces of warm distilled or boiled water.
