So I am a week and a half out from a meet I have been preparing for since September. This Friday I am going to start a small one week taper leading into the meet next Sat Dec 8. However I am starting to get sick, I feel it in my throat, my nose is starting to run, etc. Do any of those things like Emergen-C work or am I better off with a multi vitamin and some nyquil?

I just swam a meet with a cold that showed up very quickly and it was pretty miserable.
I am not a doctor but here is what I do for colds (and this one does seem to be on its way out):
-cold medicine containing guaifenesin (Mucinex)
-lots of vitamin C (I like the chewable tablets but Emergen-C is more fun)
-hot tea
-rest
