Help! Oncoming cold...

I feel a cold coming and I typically just get sleep but any other cures people have to fight off a cold before it fully hits?!

Vitamin C, but like a ridiculous quantity of it - as much as 2000mg every hour or so. I read that your body can't use more than like 500mg normally, but when you're sick it uses several times as much. Part of the reasoning is that animals that make their own Vitamin C, like cats, produce a zillion times more when they're sick. The article was written by a pair of scientists, and while I fully admit it might be quack science, Vitamin C is dirt cheap and can't really hurt you, so why not? It seems like every time I try it, the cold starts to go away, then I slack off after the first day or so because I'm feeling better, THEN I get hit with the cold. YMMV :D Ginger chamomile tea with honey, or hot water with lemon juice and honey, are my other go-to's. If nothing else, they're soothing.
