Zinc tablets or Cold-Ez, which is a zinc cough drop. Drink lots of water. Other vitamins, echanacia (sp?) and golden seal cant hurt either, but dont over do it.

This stuff will help. You may still get the cold, but, if you do, it will have a much shorter duration. It could very well halt it altogether, however.

It's an herb, honey...and it usually comes in a capsule with Echinacha because the two together metabolize better. It is important to drink lots of water...get lots of rest...take some vitamin C and Zinc...and you can do Allistair's boiled orange thing...
Take two oranges and put them in a pot with water with the skins on...and boil them for about five minutes...then peel and eat them. It's really soothing smile
I think it's an ancient Australian secret.
hug Hope you feel better!!
