When you have a cold or a cough, you can often get very dehydrated without realizing it. Drinking water continuously throughout the day will make you feel better. Also, drinking water makes your mucus flow more freely and allows you to blow or cough it out of your system easily.

Be sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day while you are ill.
