Paracetamol brings down your temperature and eases pain, decongestants clear a blocked nose, and have a stimulant effect that perks you up, caffeine (which I don't do any more!) is another common ingredient to some painkillers/cold remedies, honey and lemon (and sugar) soothe a sore throat. Other than that, make sure you eat enough.
