Urgh cold coming on and Xmas party season is upon us. How to get better faster?

[Titsywoo]

Dh has been feeling rough with a cold for the past 3 days and now today I am sneezing and coughing a bit and feel lethargic. Have first Xmas night out on Saturday - how can I get over this cold as fast as possible?

Echinaforce tincture by A Vogel is my go to fix for a cold. If caught early it can ward off the cold completely otherwise it tends to make it shorter than I think it would be. Could be placebo effect but I believe it works and MIL swears by it too. Maybe worth a try? Not cheap though best price is on Amazon I think.

Samba ok from your health store (or perhaps from Boots). It's a miracle.
