I just got a cold (coughing, sneezing, stuffiness, pretty much dying) right before a school dance. I can't even kiss my boyfriend! Friday was going to be the day we kissed and now look what happened. Does anyone have any tips for me to make the symptoms a little smaller or anything that could help? This has been my worst cold yet, I stayed home today so I can do anything. Ugh, could it just be a nervous cold? :(

Are you talking about a cold (sneezing, coughing, flue-type stuff) or a cold sore?
If it is a cold sore, there's really nothing that you can do, except wait it out. Use Abreva - it cuts the healing time and helps with the pain.
If you're talking about a cold, then I also say that there's nothing you can do, but rest, take care of yourself, and hold off on the kissing.
It's OK - the time will be right when it's right! :) Don't worry.

Urgh... sorry you're sick!
Chicken soup, rest, rest, rest, vitamin C, rest, rest, rest, stay warm, rest, rest, rest! :)
Hopefully, you'll feel better soon!

Yup, sorry, you are sick. Even if you get rid of the symptoms, you don't get rid of the cold.

Well this sucks, thanks for the advice though. I have gotten a lot of sleep, had lots of soup, drank vitamin water, and eaten about 20 oranges. I took a warm bath about an hour ago, and I feel much better. I main goal is to get rid of this cold! I only have today and tomorrow, this cold will go away even if it kills me! I think that is why I am feeling so much better.
