Louie's Mom	I swear by Zicam Nasal spray. If you have an all night pharmacy, go now. The sooner you start when exhibiting symptoms the more likely it wil work. Use it EXACTLY like the instructions, on schedule and the cold will go away or will be less severe. Set your alarm clock to use it even at night if I really need to avoid being sick. Usually I can avoid the cold all together if I use Zicam as soon as I feel a sore throat or sneezing coming on. Echincea never did much for me. Does it work? Let me put it this way. I don't know for sure, but I went from frequent colds (for years) to only getting one last year. My kids get sick and I don't. Don't use the Zicam melts...they taste terrible!

kasscabel	Whiskey, Lemon juice and honey. Use 1/2 jar of honey, 3 tbsp. of lemon, and like three shots of whiskey; Mix together and take like cough Syrup. take three times a day. You will be better within two to three days. Sounds corney, but it's an old home remedy that always works for us. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SpursFan123	Use Zicam. It's over the counter at any drug store. It lessens the symptoms by about half. My daughter swears by it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lynda	Unless it's also some allergy involved, a common cold will run it's course in a few days with taking care of yourself and with enough rest and fluids and practicing good hygiene unless you are doing something to re-infect yourself. (When I was living at home I had a cold that lingered for about a month. The doctor told me that the cold should run it's course in something like 9 to 11 days (if my recall is accurate -- sorry it's been many, many yrs ago though) and that I was being re-infected. I returned home, did some Sherlock Holmes: Do you know, my sisters and I were in the habit of propping our toothbrushes in the same cup on the bathroom counter. So we were re-infecting each other. We separated the toothbrushes. My cold disappeared almost overnight. With all that good advice and caring suggestions above, I hope you get well fast. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Enchantress38	Here's what I do, and I have several immune system diseases, so I'm always the worst case scenario. I've found that this works wonders! Zinc - 2 - 3 capsules a day, taken with food since Zinc can upset your stomach if it's empty Quercitin - is a natural Decongestant - take 2 capsules 3 times a day Olive Leaf - if your throat is sore, or your chest burns, then take Olive Leaf which is a natural antibiotic - take 2 capsules 3 times a day If you are around people who are sick with colds, do what I call the "premptive strike" and start taking Zinc immediately. I've also recently started using "Airbornne" and I found that it kept me from getting sick with a cold when everyone else around me did get sick. And don't forget how soothing and yummy chicken soup is! I hope this helps and you are feeling better soon! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

morganamawr	I have always used Echinacea, it doesn't so much cure the cold, but I have noticed it shortens it drastically. Also if you are in a situation where you think you may come down with a cold, take it each day for a while till the risk is gone, sometimes it can help prevent one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Grant M	Take some Air Bourne and lots of orange juice... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*sweetstuff*	what I find helps is this hot water and lemon - lots of it - eating cut up Garlic if you can stomach it and lots of liquids and rest!!! Take care!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Suthern Yankee	During the first day of a cold, I increased my Vitamin C and Zinc, but did it in juice form to stay hydrated and as the worst settled in, I took a nap when it got bad and then went to bed earlier that night. The usual duration of a cold is 7 days, I dropped it to 4 and am feeling better already. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sweetheart_tally	I have killed off many a cold with grapefruit seed extract. It works wonders and on average -- taking four times a day -- got rid of my cold in two to three days. It helps with numberous other conditions, and has been proven for over 30 yr. to be safe and effective. You can find this product at your local health food store.
