Any hacks to get rid of a cold

I am down with another cold. This is probably my third cold this winter. I went years before without catching any colds.

Before a few years ago I used to follow a supplement regime - eh - iron and vitamin C in the morning. Vitamin d after breakfast, magnesium before bed.

I think I might be down with depression since last autumn because I am not really looking after myself anymore. I can hardly take the stuff I buy any more.

I am down with a cold since last weekend and I feel awful. It's a head cold but I have a sore body too.

I think I feel it going into my chest. My chest is wheezy. Does that mean it's a chest infection? Do I need a doctor.

Any hacks to get rid of a cold?

Loads of hot steamy drinks. Lemon and honey.
Clear broth made with chicken or veg stock with ginger and chilli.

For me I was told to take echinacea as well as vitamin c and zinc. Did sweet FA.
