Cold Medicine
It's that time of year. The weather can't decide if it's going to be hot or cold from one day to the next. This indecisiveness in the weather usually means that I'm gonna get a cold. And guess what, I've done just that. I've already been through the coughing and sore throat. I've moved on the the really annoying runny nose and sneezing phase. When I say runny nose, I mean dripping like a friggin faucet!
I've been taking AlkaSeltzer Cold gel tabs. They seemed to help yesterday. What do you find helps lessen the severity of a cold? Anyone tried Zicam? |

Theraflu at night works well.

Walk it off. Jack Youngblood played in a Super Bowl with a broken leg, and you didn't see him taking Nyquil and TheraFlu.

If you want something natural that will actually help your body heal while it knocks out symptoms everyone is raving about something called Airborne out here. Most cold medicines prolong the symptoms. I also hear cold-eeze are supposed to be decent. You have to take this stuff when the first signs of a cold come on though. 10 grams of vitamin C a day with 50% bioflavonoids and lots of water always helps too.

Dayquil works good if you need to work and not pass out at your computer....for the night time...you have the right stuff....alka seltzer cold and flu works awesome...and if you can stomach it...the tablets you drop in water work even better than the gel tablets.

I'd beef up my immune system during times like this.
What I do is take supplements and for now I'd extra C and A and lots of pure fresh water. If you get something keep taking plus up the C and maybe some Echinacea. I also see a alt medicine doctor who gives me homeopathics....everything she's ever given me or my kid has worked. My kid had something last week at the end of Spring break and I had her back to battery in two days. But a cold usually has to run itself out...and I do that with most common ills. In fact I don't even fight fevers as it's the body doing its job killing whatever it is. I just find that docs overprescribe antibiotics and rarely wait for results on throat cultures before they do prescribe. I don't believe in that. |
