The other suggestion besides Lysine is Immuno-regulin, which has to be given by IV injection so you need a cooperative vet. You can buy it online yourself though.  It really helped my Patches get over pneumonia and my Ginger to get over a long-term URI that had been making her not eat for weeks (I had to syringe feed her). After the second dose of I-R Ginger started eating.  I-R can have temporary side effects like fever, though, and is a pain due to needing a vet or vet tech to administer it.
 
As for symptoms, a vet recommended Triaminic, a children's cold medicine, to me. I gave .2 (that's point two, or two tenths, not two) cc's of it to Ginger twice a day for a few days and it cleared up her nose enough so she wanted to eat.  But there is only one kind that is safe to give them. I need to check but it is the simplest one, and I think it is the orange one. I will look when I go downstairs and email the exact formula. This is not a cure, but helps with symptoms.
