Here's what I have been doing to rapidly accelerate my healing (cold and fever)

Lowkey water but I'm kinda writing this for future me

Nasal issues:
-Nose spray (2x a day on regular dose, 3x a day on low dose). Good for congestion and a runny nose at times too.
-Try not to blow nose (unless you're getting literal snot bombs every time, it's best to not blow your nose too often as it can lead to nostril walls drying out and bleeding which does NOT feel good)
-Steamy shower and/or put your face over a bowl with steam (I prefer the shower, it's easier to set up and the warmth on your entire body is calming). Moistens dry parts and feels better to breathe.

Throat
-Warm tea every morning (night too, if it's not caffeineated), with honey
-Spoonfuls of honey throughout the day, soothes irritation
-Water. Drink A Bunch Of Fucking Water. Obviously don't like make yourself barf with the amount of water you drink but drink a Lot more than usual I swear it helps my sore throats so much
-I've heard good things about gargling salt water but have never tried it so take that with a grain of salt lmao

Sometimes nasal fluids will irritate the throat and it is just a thing you have to deal with, it sucks balls tho ngl

Fever
-Ibuprofen (duh)
-When sleeping, wear a long sleeve garment with long pants. Ensure the long sleeve garment can easily be put on/taken off in the middle of the night/half asleep. The amount of times I've woken up from either freezing or boiling my ass off is insane, you want a quick fix so you can go back to sleep ASAP (your body needs that)

General
-Rest is crucial
-Take a melatonin before bed if you're prone to waking up due to fever, helped me a lot. Your body NEEDS sleep when you're sick.
-Drink warm things (tea, broth (my mom made me some homemade ramen with garlic and ginger, yum) it's good for you and feels good
-Warm showers will help a lot physically and mentally
-No screens before bed PLEASE do not mess up your sleep cycle rn
 
I love fever dreams. I have no idea whats happening and nothing feels real and then I wake up and my head hurts and everything is spinning and I still feel like i'm dreaming.

Fever dreams are cool until you run into
