English term or phrase: big cold
"LIQUIDATE Your BIG COLD All Over!"
What do you think a "big cold" would be? "Un gran resfrío", this is an ad I don't like "gran resfrío" . Maybe "big cold" is "gripe" in the US? Let me know your suggestions for the US.
"All over"? "Para siempre"? Many thanks

Liquida / acaba con tu / ese resfriado de una vez por todas


Explanation:
Yo aquí no pondría "gran resfriado" ni nada de eso porque no "pega" en la frase, apelativa mucho más que informativa... Saludos
