There's no cure for the common cold. But what about cold remedies that claim
to make you feel better faster? Find out what's effective — and what's not.
Cold remedies are almost as common as the common cold, and many are nearly
as ancient. The use of chicken soup as a congestion cure dates back
centuries. But is longevity any guarantee that a cold remedy works? Do
effective cold remedies even exist? Here's a look at some common cold
