My hs senior caught a nasty cold also - and it has been a rough week.

Besides whatever over-the-counter medicines work for you, treat symptoms with: extended really warm showers - Shower Soothers are nice to throw on the shower floor; liquids, liquids, liquids - Sprite, juices, hot chocolate; comfort food - soup, mac & cheese, applesauce, popsicles. Eating small amounts and drinking liquid constantly really helps, I think.

My d also found that wearing snuggly pjs, socks, etc. while at home helped. I washed her sheets, etc., each day to somewhat keep the germ quota to a minimum and just for the mental boost of climbing into a clean bed after a lousy day.
