Yeah...always did the Dayquil and Nyquil thing, but looking for a better remedy.
What do you all do to feel good and get rid of colds quickly?

Zinc lozenges (Cold-eeze is one good brand) help, but you have to start them at the first sign of a cold (you know the morning when you wake up with your throat feeling a little scratchy and say to yoursef "Is this the start of cold?") for them to really be effective. They will help a little if you start them later. Pseudoephedrine (suda-fed, contac non-drowsy) is fairly good for drying up runny nose and reducing nasal and sinus congestion. Unfortunately, it is being phased out and replace with phenylephrine (similar but not quite as good), because pseudoephedrine is used to mak methampetamine.
