Colds, also known as upper respiratory infections, can be caused by a variety of viruses. Unfortunately, no amount of medication can make a cold go away in two days. While it is possible to reduce the severity of symptoms in two days, it is not possible to completely cure a cold in that time.
Symptoms of a Cold
Common symptoms of a cold include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, coughing, and exhaustion. Other symptoms may include headache, fever, and body aches.
Treatments for a Cold
The best way to treat a cold is to get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and use over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers, decongestants, and cough suppressants. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics if a bacterial infection is present.
Preventing a Cold
The best way to prevent a cold is to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and avoiding contact with people who are sick. Eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of rest will also help to boost your immune system and prevent colds.
