Recovering fully from a cold takes from 7 to 10 days and there's no cure for a cold other than getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated and getting some humidity in your home or taking a steamy hot shower.
A nice steamy shower can help with a cold and alleviate a cough and stuffy nose when you have a cold.
You can also take some over the counter cold medicine to help with the cold symptoms but just waiting it out is about all you can do besides doing the above mentioned things.
Drinking some warm tea with some honey can also help as honey is a natural cough medicine.
