Nothing can cure cold, our body takes time to heal. Meanwhile one can follow some remedies which might ease the symptoms such as stay hydrated and sip warm liquids, rest, sooth the sore throat with warm water + salt gargles, steam inhalation to combat nasal stuffiness, use humidifier at home, rest and honey in children.
