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? |

start supplementing with Vitamin C.
Some ppl take vitamin C year round, but that's a waste of time. It won't prevent colds, but it will help you get better faster. oh and I think Zinc helps as well. - pHIl |

You can minimize the symptoms with Alka Seltzer cold medicine (always works great for me), Tylenol cold... But you really cannot get better faster. It has to run its course.
I hope you feel better. |

Me too!
But... the best way to shorten and reduce the symptoms is by using some natural immune boosters. Echinacea/Goldenseal & Zinc lozengers or Zicam - all available from drug store - take a bunch... in 3 days all better :-) (colds usually last up to 9 days!!!) Nyquil etc.. good as a 'bandaid' for symptoms - but won't help heal faster like the herbals. be well... sniff. |

How often do you take Zicam (zinc)?
Where can you find the stuff - drug store, supermarket? |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah... supermarket, pharmacy etc... little pricey $10ish. they have it in different forms: swabs, nose spray etc... use it like every 4hrs... but get going! Best if used on earliest signs of symptoms. Lots of proven results showing dramatic lessening of time w/cold. I know - colds just plain suck. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] |
