Ugh. Hope you feel better soon.

I still swear by black elderberry extract. I've tried EVERYTHING for colds - pharmaceutical, herbal and homeopathic - unlike most of it, elderberry just works, and I get no side effects. It works best if I can get on top of it as soon as I start feeling run-down, but it will definitely speed recovery. Quantum Health is my favorite, but it's getting harder to find as people realize what a bargain it is.

Take care of yourself.
