A cold can be expressed by symptoms like a stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat. You may be having a cough and/or a runny nose as well. To help your body recover, you should rest, drink plenty of the right kind of liquids like water and warm tea, and to relieve the discomfort of the sore throat try over-the-counter medications like throat lozenges or saline sprays.
