This isn’t birth control related but does anyone know how to get rid of a cold fast?

Keep warm, rest, and be sure to get enough nutrition. You could also up your vitamin c intake but ultimately it will need to run its course.

There isn't a magic cure, the best way is to rest as much as possible and drink fluids. Vitamin C has been shown in some studies to shorten the duration of illness a bit

feel better soon! i’m going through the same, thought i’d avoided it but working retail loves to be a hater

I find warm/hot drinks help a lot especially hot orange or lemon with honey for sore throats!
