If you want to have a healthy voice for choir try outs on friday the best thing to do would be this. %26#92;

1. Make sure you get a lot of good rest, rest=regeneration and energy.

2. Try drinking drinks with tons of electrolytes such as gatorades and vitamin waters

3. Drink hot soup and have some hot tea as much as u can

4. Friday morning before you audition, have about 2 spoons of honey, or put some honey in your tea and have a cup of tea, this will sooth your voice and help any remnance of the cold settle down

If you have a JAMBA JUICE by your house, id reccomend drinking a "Cold Buster" smoothie, or any smoothie with the "Immunity Booster" in it , it has all the vitamins you need to get better [including Vitamin C]
so ya that helped me feel better ASAP without even taking any meds. just blast yourself with vitamins and good foods and rest.

vitamin c cough drops.. orange juice.. you need vitamin c its what defends your body from getting sick.

there is an over the counter product called "zicam" has worked great for me .. the catch is you have to start using it at the first symptoms, takes longer once the cold has taken hold.

if you can .. clear your schedule and just rest for the next three days and drink alot of water (zicam will help) and pump vitamin c's into yourself. By alot of water I mean to the point where you have to use the bathroom about every 15 min.

Expectorants and humidifiers can help you get rid of a cold. Expectorants are medicines that help breakup the phlegm in your lungs so you can cough it up, and breath easier. Robitussin Severe Congestion Liqui-Gels, Vicks 44E, and Extra Action Cough Syrup are good over-the-counter expectorants. Couple these medicines with a humidifier and some eucalyptus oil and you should start to feel less of the cold in your lungs.
The single most important cold treatment to help you get rid of a cold is fluid intake. Keep yourself hydrated with sports drinks. sports drinks are the best hydrating formulas you can buy. Why? Because they have electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and chloride which help your body absorb the fluids. The sugars also help give your body energy it might be losing from a lack of food.
