Personally, I stick with my old standby: hot water, lemon juice, honey and a little nutmeg. When the cold is really unbearable I add about a half shot of brandy, though I think that that only relaxes me and puts me to sleep. You know, I don't feel better, but I don't mind being sick as much!
On a more rational note, I've read that the honey actually does do some good somehow, that the nutmeg helps with respiratory congestion, and I know that the hot water helps to relax and loosen my chest congestion. I think it's in the line of "Can't hurt, may help" treatments.
