    Ugh, I need to get rid of this fast!
    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.

    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.
