For me I normally just let the immune system take it out and just roll with it till it burns out. On the rare occasion when I get a real bad one I can consciously raise the body temp, hit about 105-107 for about 4 hours and the cold or flu is gone. But to do that one involves some planning and a good deal of energy, needless to say right now I lack the time for planning and I lack the energy thanks to school.
W00t! So you basically burn it out. Me, I just commence orbital bombardment with fucking MASSIVE amounts of OJ (a gallon a day at least, think Base Delta Zero in Orange Juice!) until the virus ups and leaves.
Weed does not help a sore throat btw. In fact if I don't drink milk after a toke I run the risk of tonsillitis (OUCH! Nasty useless disease if ever there was one.) A Death Star blast of OJ generally helps tho...
Man I really wish I could do that fever-on-demand thing. Sounds like it'd be fun to turn the effect on for sex, then turn it off afterward

Heh, maybe I should've said "Urethra" instead of kidney. God, it's worse than pissing the moring after a vigorous roll in the hay. But hey, it works. Instead of having a cold for a week or two, I have it for three days.

The best way to take care of a cold is: Food, sleep, some medicine and LOTS of Vitamin C.

As much sleep as possible, massive doses of time-release vitamin C (~1-2 grams) and echinacea tea.
And lots of sleep. When I was sick last week, one day I slept for 14 hours straight, got up, ate, took a two hour nap, ate, and then went back to be for about 12 hours. Felt great the next day.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Soup. Kills colds dead.

Another that works real well (found this out accidentally) is drinking an obscene quantity of vodka...

Ginger tea, orange juice, and sleep. I won't get into the weird medicines I've tried over here.

Did that get rid of the cold or simple make it impossible for you to notice?

Chug warm tea by the quart. Popsicles are great, provided you don't have a sore throat. Chicken soup is spectacular.

Pass it on to someone else, it works wonders.
