This sounds silly but...

I know everyone is full of cold at the moment but dd (8) is going on a school residential on Monday and she's woken up this morning streaming/leaking bless her. Short of calpol, what can speed this up?!

Nothing really apart from paracetamol and plenty of fluids, some people swear by zinc and vitamin c to ease symptoms but I don't think it speeds it up it all depends on how quickly your dds immune system fights the virus.
