Airborne when first catching cold seems to help. I think I've warded off a couple, which is rare for me otherwise.

For sinus infection, try a nasal rinse. I think there's one called NeliMed. It will clear your head and I think may help you get better faster.

If things get real bad, I cycle the Nyquil/Dayquil depending on time of day.

Yea, lay off the booze. Not good for cold and does not get along with acetaminophen (aka Tylenol), which is in a lot of the good cold medicines.
