What's your favorite home remedy for a cold?

If I feel a cold coming on rest is the best thing for me, I lie on the couch or in bed with soft pillows and a quilt and fall asleep. If I do get a cold and really feel bad those little red Sudafed work best for me. I don't take them every 4 hours just a dose and then to bed or couch. Hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that I don't usually get colds probably because I'm retired and don't spend most of my day in a crowded workplace - I worked at a college and my 'office area' was in an open space and everyone seemed to pass or stop by my office.

The only problem is I haven't been able to locate Quiachol for many years so had to
swith to Vick's salve. Does anyone know of a pharmacy that still compounds Quiachol???
