Is there anything I could do to make this not develop full blown or fly by and miss me completely. I JUST started feeling better and now of all times I simply can n ot afford to be re infected, I'm going to newyork an then I am going to see my daddy dom . I CAN NOT be sick again:(

I have found Zicam nasal gel to be effective.

I agree with Aileen - lots and lots of vitamin C.

Mind you, the best thing I found so far was my painkillers. I've taken dihydrocodeine for ten years now for arthritis pain - never had a cold in all that time, and I used to get some stinkers I can tell you! Now, I dont recommend you rush to the nearest narcotics dealer by the way - these are serious painkillers that will knock you out and get you addicted really quickly - but theyre excellent for pain, and (seemingly) seem to keep colds at bay. I'd much prefer a few colds to arthritis though.

edited to ask "what the.....!?" Aileen and Krissi's pictures are now there! ?

I asked the Pharmacist and he said that Echinacea can be good, but to be careful not to take too much because it is actually a toxin and can cause bad reactions in some people.

I always try to get some extra sleep (not easy, but I try), drink black tea with honey, eat healthy and fresh foods (no fast foods or frozen dinners) and all the vitamin C that I can handle.  That seems to work for me.

Sure, there are products on the market that claim to shorten the duration and alleviate some of the symptoms....some people swear by some and others claim the same ones do nothing for them. It's really a matter of choice.

The best defense against contracting a cold though is frequent and thorough handwashing. Especially in an environment around so many touchy, feely kids.
