I have listed what I am trying to say in English as well as Spanish. Will you please tell me if it makes sense? Thank you in advance. Monica

Five of my favorite treatments for colds are lots of rest, plenty of fluids, Alka Seltzer Plus Cold, soup, and Vicks Vapor Rub.
Cinco de mis favoritos tratamientos para los resfriados son los lotes de descanso, mucho líquido, Alka Seltzer Plus fría, sopa, y Vicks Vapor Frote.

My doctor wants me to take a vitamin everyday and she does not want me to smoke.
Mi doctor quisiera tomara una vitamina diaria y ella no quisiera que fumara.

My best friend always asks me to go to the store.
Mi mejor amigo pide siempre que vaya al almacén.

All of my professor's prohibit plagiarizing.
Todo mi profesor prohíbe el plagiar.

Alka Seltzer Plus fría

fría is cold as in chilly. resfriado is cold as in being sick with a cold.

However, since this is a brand name, you might just leave it as "Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold."

'As for the first sentence, I could be wrong here, but I've never heard 'lotes' in the context you used. But I would wait for a native speaker to be sure though.
My bet would be that Monica looked up "lot(s)" (which in this sentence means much/plenty and is colloquial) and found an entry for "lot" meaning a parcel of land.
