The lousy cold

I'll start off being honest. Aromatherapy can (on occasion with luck) stop the development of a cold, if you have a warm bath with Tea Tree and Eucalyptus. Failing that you're stuck with the usual symptoms. Aromatherapy can help. Eucalyptus is useful for a stuffy nose as is peppermint. You can get a mixture to gargle with, but for that I would have to recommend you visit an aromatherapist. If you're having trouble sleeping, again trey good old lavender. I have a hot whiskey toddy, but I can't recommend that you drink! Over all a cold is just the pits and you can manage the symptoms, but that's about it.
