Answer 1

Most rhinoviruses run their course in 1-3 weeks.  Gargling with warm sea-salted water can help immensely.  Black licorice is a specific to get rid of coughs quickly, so go buy a box of Panda brand at your nearest healthfood store or co-op.  Wild cherry bark is extremely helpful with coughs and sore throats.  I use Nature-ade Herbal Expec w/ Guaifenisen and also swear by Boericke & Tafel's Cough Syrup in the purple box (I think it's the nighttime formula.)  I've recommended that to mom's w/ kids that have been coughing for weeks where nothing has worked, and that has--quickly, effectively and well.  Some mom friends of mine also like to give their kids honey loquat syrup, but I haven't had quite as much luck with this.  The old honey/lemon/whiskey/tea remedy works quite well, too, but the things you need to understand are that 1) You didn't get sick overnight, so it's pretty d**n unlikely it's going to clear up in one day.  Yes, you can set an intention, and instruct your body to heal itself immediately, but as in Nature and the world, things take the time they take.  I would also recommend the following:  1)  Up the amount of fresh garlic, cilantro, ginger, chilies, hot salsa in your diet.  If there isn't any, add some.  In fact, add lots!  2)  Quit eating dairy for awhile, and eggs too, if they're creating too much mucous in your body.  Constant yellow or green, creamy, slimy thick colds indicates a) you're not burning hot enough to burn off all the guck you're eating/taking in; and b) you're eating too much c**p like pizza, burgers, ice cream, cream cheese, butter, Italian food stuffed with cheeses, bacon and other high fat meats or it indicates you're either run down or allergic to something, perhaps several things.  Colds and flus and sore throats are actually a gift b/c they let us see our internal condition made manifest.  They are also the body's way of cleaning out the c**p, which believe me, is EXTREMELY important, and EXTREMELY a good thing.  If it ever gets to the point where your body isn't cleaning out anymore, that's where and when your health will be in an extremely serious state, so NO! I rarely recommend suppressing symptoms with synthetic drugs like Coricidin or Sudafed or other OTC drugs such as this.  When you suppress symptoms, you drive them into the core of the body more deeply, you do not ever get rid of them.  They will reemerge later as things like lupus, CFS, mononucleosis, diabetes, cancer, tumours, other auto-immune diseases.  You will pay, and pay dearly in the long term with your health and well-being.  

Onions, mustard and hot chicken soup with the bones cooked into the broth for hours so that it's highly mineralized, w/ sea salt, carrots, celery, onions, leeks, parsnips, garlic, dill, parsley and parsley root will make you feel better and has been scientifically shown to reduce the severity and length of both colds and flus.

I also recommend taking a long nap the afternoon before your prom so that you are well-rested, and maybe cutting the night a little (a lot) shorter than you would have normally.  Pushing yourself too hard right now could cause you to get really rundown and sick w/ a vengeance.

Hope this helps!  Blessed be, and may you heal well and quickly, and enjoy your prom!!!

ADDENDUM:  Regarding Miss Molly Mack's crappy response:  There is NO difference between a spell and a prayer.  They are both the setting of a focused intention and a request for assistance/divine intervention in a matter or matters.  Just the deities are different.  Prayer also has been PROVEN in multiple scientific studies TO WORK, thank you very much.  The mechanism by which it works is not well--understood, but the fact that it does work, and work incredibly well, is very well documented.  Talk to some older, well-experienced doctors, especially oncologists.  All of them will tell you of healings they cannot explain, nor account for, but that they have observed anyway.  Ask them which of their patients do best:  Those that have a faith background, and a huge network of people praying for them, or those that are up against it all alone and either won't or can't pray?  Those that have no faith, and no idea where to begin, or believe that a situation is hopeless?  I already know the answers to these questions.  You haven't even begun the conversation yet.  "Minds are like parachutes.  They work best when they are open..."  Molly's clearly is NOT.  Nor, it is obvious, does she have much experience in the realm of healing.

Answer 2

There is no cure for a cold or a sore throat. You have to let them run their course but there are plenty of over the counter treatments that can help to ease the symptoms.

Wicca spells are total garbage. If any of them worked and were safe they would be part of orthodox medicine.
