Echinacea tincture (liquid) 12 drops in a small amount of water x 2 daily.
Preferably this one from H&B http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/a-vogel-echinaforce-60082037
Once cold symptoms have cleared keep taking it.for around a month.

Doesn't cure the cold quicker, but you feel an awful lot better
I suffer from sinusitis , exacerbated by nasal polyps. I always choke up badly with the cold, in the past often leading to an infection.
I was recommended a salt inhaler. Off fleabay they're between £10 and £20.
Despite being initially skeptical, after ten minutes a day for about three days, the concrete snot in my sinuses started to move!
I puff on it every evening for a few minutes, blowing out through my nose. This is the first winter in years that I've had a clear nose.
I'd strongly recommend a salt inhaler to anyone with catarrh or sinus problems. The effects of breathing through the salt crystals are amazing.

Cider vinegar. Amazing stuff but taste foul. Take a couple of teaspoon fulls in a cup with a spoonful of honey and dilute well and it's then drinkable. Works for more alements than you could ever imagine

Cayenne pepper. Teaspoon mixed in an eggcup-ful of water. You'll prefer to have the cold, though.

You can't 'cure' a cold, you can only relieve the symptoms... so whisky, lemon and hot water it is... .
