I would do what you're doing but I would add lots of sleep and decongestants. When I had a travel job, I had to learn how to treat a cold before it did any real damage. What I found out is, the actual virus is defeated in 24 to 48 hours. But the toxins left behind can still cause lots of problems. Decongestants used properly can help to drain your sinuses expediting your recovery. Hot showers help to drain the sinuses too. And I don't drink any liquor or beer etc. Sorry about the last item I know some will disagree.
