  • Chicken soup. Chicken soup might help relieve cold and flu symptoms in two ways. First, it acts as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the movement of neutrophils — immune system cells that participate in the body's inflammatory response. Second, it temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus, possibly helping relieve congestion and limiting the amount of time viruses are in contact with the nose lining.
It may relieve symptoms but it's not going to help get rid of it. Same thing with OTC medicine. All they do is relieve symptoms. Only thing that would help it go away would be antibiotics. That and rest. Anything else just hides the symptoms.
