A bottl a rum....;-)
If you aren't too far along try those zinc nose swabs. There's other products with zinc, but they all taste bad.
Kicked a cold out of my system in about 4 days. Seems there's no getting around a few days of crap concerning a cold.
Save the rum for night time, you'll sleep well. Hot buttered rum does the trick for me as a sleep aid when having a cold. A little gin warmed in the microwave for about 5 seconds makes a nice snifter, too for a stuffy nose.

If you can get real sudafed (the kind mentioned by lifeliberty) in a non-drowsy formula, that's probably your best bet.
If that doesn't work, DayQuil should be a good fall-back -- it won't make you sleepy during the day, but also shouldn't keep you awake at night. It doesn't do anything for me as a stimulant at any rate. (though at this point caffeine has ZERO effect on me anyway - I could mainline espresso & no-doz cocktails and still sleep like a baby)
Drinking lots of fluids and getting lots of vitamins definitely helps too. If you're not used to getting those things in your diet, then they should have an even faster effect.

I say you should probably go to Target and get target-brand dayquil and nyquil gel caps. It'll save you the money and you'll be able to get both kinds.
Not that these really help you through a cold any faster, but they can get rid of the runny nose, cough, congestion, etc that will at least make it easier to bear.

katieb wrote I caught a cold over the weekend, sucky, I know, and I was wondering what kind of medicine will make me feel better during the day AND let me sleep at night, because I only want to get one kind.and I need to feel not like crap when I go to work. lol
I am a huge fan of Mucinex, which is an expectorant. helps you cough up all the crud. (ew!) make sure you get Mucinex D though, because that has a decongestant.
Sudafed is good too...
I am a walking cold & allergy... those are all I could find that works for me.
