How to get rid of a cold?

How can I get rid of my cold before my holiday?

• Okay this may sound a little gross, but oh well, just please help! I'm going to Cyprus to visit my family on Sunday(I can't wait!) and I have a cold. But it isn't like any cold I've had! In fact it's quite nasty. I have a load of mucus in my nose, but it's all dried up(in other words, boogers) but I have LOADS. I get a full nose every half an hour it's that bad. My nose is very sore right now because I have been messing with it so much. I also have a bit of a cough, which isn't too bad, but it's the phlegm-y cough that you get. I sneeze a bit. And I get very tired. Normally when I have a cold I have a bit of a snuffly nose and sneezing fits an possibly a cough, but not loads of mucus in my nose! It's really uncomfortable, I don't want to feel this way while I'm on holiday. Any ideas? Oh, and also I've had this cold since I went to London with my school, which was about 2-3 weeks ago. That's pretty long to be having a cold isn't it? I don't have a fever or anything so it can't be the flu, but is this a normal cold? And how can I ease it or get rid of it quicker?
