I am suffering from a horrible cold too. You might have to treat your sinus infection first because if you don't it will get worse and eventually turn into pneumonia. The cold will ease on it's own. :) I recommend taking Zicam. It shortens colds.

Hey, I have a cold too and my nose won't stop running and I developed a cough before I got the cold. Now my nose is sore from wiping it and blowing my nose. I feel like I need to keep my eyes open with matchsticks, so tired and sleepy

Hey,

For sinus and cold..what you can do is..go for steaming, have warm milk with turmeric powder and also you can have warm soups, warm water in your meals...trying out all this..can surely ease your cold and cough problem.
