What are your best remidies for a cold?

My Dr. has prescribed nasonex and clarinex-d. Neither work. I have runny nose like crazy! Humidifier helps a little. Anyone have any remedies?

Should a toddler be given Nasonex?

My Nephew is 5 yrs old and has been on Nasonex for 4 years. I had a cold and used that stuff for about 2 weeks and I felt a sore throat, coughed more, and had a constant headache. Is Nasonex only for when you are sick or is it a "forever" medication?
