Help I have a cold :(

Double check the Nyquil, not sure which pain killer it has.
Try ginger tea, or put vicks on your chest or feet (some swear by putting it on your feet and wearing socks to bed). If your tummy can handle it, a bit of spice will clear your sinuses (I know my tummy can't handle it). Some also swear by a Netti pot, but I'm not fond of them myself. My go to is Vicks. That and drink extra water, it thins out the mucus. If you need to, sleep in a recliner.
