My kids have had a cold for a week now, and I feel like I'm getting it also -- but I have to go away on Friday... any suggestions on how to zap this cold? My throat feels scratchy and my nose is running a little bit.
i was going to pick up some airborne at lunchtime .. and maybe some echnichea (sp) and vitamin c .. wanted to see if anyone had some other suggestions. does airborne even work?
Airborne works for me, but it has to be taken RIGHT when I feel a cold coming on. Then I'll get sniffles for a few days more and my cold is gone. I also take some vitamin C and echinicea drops in addition to the Airborne.
Airborne works for me, but I have to take it when I know I'm exposed to tons of germs or when the cold is just starting. It definitely lessens the severity of colds.
I love Zicam. Before I found it, my colds were absolutely horrendous. I'd actually carry a box of tissues or a roll of toilet paper around with me all day to class, work, etc...because those little travel packs were a joke to my nose. And this would last for two weeks!
But if I take Zicam religiously as soon as I feel a cold coming on, my cold is much easier on me and lasts for maybe 4 or 5 days.

I also say Zicam. (Airborne= gross) They have different was you can take the product (Throat Spray, Nose swaps, dissolve tablet, etc) Remember, whenever taking these products, you have to use it like every 4 hours. It's the most important thing! I've known people who only do it once, and of course it doesn't work, and they get sick.
