Answer 1

ziacamm is proved to shorten a cold. give it a try. it can come in nasal gel spray or swabs with the gel on them.

Answer 2

There is no cure for a cold. Initial studies of zinc suggested it might shorten the course of colds, but subsequent studies have failed to substantiate. Vitamin C and others have all failed to show any treatment might be useful in shortening the course of the disease. Nasal sprays such as phenylephrine can be useful decongestants, or you may find pseudoephedrine by mouth might be adequate. Actually, in most cases, the best symptom relief comes not with drugs but with the old-fashioned treatments. Chicken soup, hot tea, and careful inhalation of steam offer the best relief.

Answer 3

I swear by Zicam nasal spray or nasal swabs when someone in my family gets a cold. Most of the time, if we start taking it as soon as cold symptoms show up, the symptoms only last a day or two.

Answer 4

There are no quick remedies to help a cold but the coldmedicines just help you feel better. The rest you have to do your self lots of rest, plenty of liqulds. The cold medicines just help you go about your day the rest you have to do your self.

Answer 5

Take Zinc lonzenges. They shorten the duration of your cold, especially if you take them at the very first signs. Also, drink lots of green tea, and chamomile tea, and stand over a steaming pan of water and breath in the steam. Eat chicken soup, get plenty of rest and drink lots of water and juice.

Answer 6

I would suggest Tynol cold plus, Thurflu, or and Alcacelisar cold plus. But diffently ThuraFlu.

Answer 7

alka-seltzer plus for colds is the one that works best for me.
plus lots of orange juice and bed rest.
feel better soon
