Bed rest. That's all I need.

I take zinc when I feel a cold coming on and continue to take it and the cold subsides quickly.

Re: Does Anything really help a head cold?

So far so good for me. I do have Zinc Cold Therapy and something called Cold Calm at home for myself just in case I start to feel bad.

He tried the Alkaseltzer cold and flu because I had it at home but it did nothing. I bought Aleve D because it was recommended at the drugstore. Apparently something was/is going around because there were a couple people ahead of me buying cold products and the clerk said they had been very busy for a few days with the sale of various cold remedies. She said everyone seems to have something.

He was pretty miserable flying but felt much better on Friday, thank goodness.

Thanks everyone. It's my DH. This came on all of a sudden. Started with a horrible sore throat and now a head cold. It's definitely not allergies.

ugh...it's going around here too. My throat felt like it was on fire.
