Since there's really no cure for the common cold I don't believe there is anything a doctor can prescribe to you for the cold.

However the doctor might be able to prescribe you some more powerful cold medicine than what you can get over the counter.

But other than that you would just have to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated and within a week or 10 days you should be over the cold.

Going to a doctor for a cold is really not gonna do much if anything and they'll recommend getting plenty of rest, stay hydrated etc and then the cold will be over with.
