    There is no clear evidence that complementary and alternative medicines such as garlic, echinacea, or vitamin C are effective for treating the common cold in adults or children. The common cold is usually self-limiting and will resolve on its own without treatment. Over-the-counter medications may provide symptomatic relief for cough and congestion but do not shorten the duration of illness. Rest and taking care of overall health are the best approaches for prevention and treatment of the common cold.
