The moment you're semi-sure you're getting a cold, get some zinc lozenges. That's the result of a meta-analysis of 15 different scientific studies of the mineral, and cut the length of coughing and sneezing days by 40 percent.
The other trick that I use is as soon as you know it is an upper respiratory cold I start to flush out my sinuses as fast as possible. I use this saline nasal spray something like Afrin one after another. I'm not sure why but it seems to lessen how much mucus is coming out of my nose and prevents it from getting hard.
