Cold-Eeze is EXCELLENT, and taking extra zinc besides, will really help. Chicken soup is a proven remedy, more so than other hot liquids (Bubby was right). i really do recommend the Cold-Eeze. I had to have surgery a year ago, and a week before I was scheduled, I came down with a bad cold. My colds normally last three weeks. With the Cold Eeze, it was GONE in three days. No joke. So I always have it around, and I personally take extra zinc every day as part of my vitamin supplementation, and B”H I have managed to avoid bad coldsthe entire year.
For future reference, at the first sign of a cold, before it has developed into one, but you just know it’s going to happen, take Claritin D twice a day. It will suppress the symptoms before they make you miserable.
