cough medicine

Does anyone know if this these things actually help expediate the recovery, or do they simply make you feal better while your body is fighting it. I have a head cold right now, and im taking the day off from the gym. Deciding whether something like dayquil would be worth it, i usually just take tylenol and a nap.

Just symptom relief. They don't actually change how fast you get better.

Yeah I think it just soothes your throat and knocks you out so you dont have to worry about it.

I am not aware of any medical "cures" for the common cold or flu. (excluding vaccination before you get the virus). Cough / cold medicines fight the symptoms only.
