Sorry you are under the weather, Ken. It's been my experience that different things work for different people, probably because of the variance in immune systems. Since I began taking an echinacea capsule once a day for the first week of every month, the number of colds I have has dropped considerably. I used to reliably catch cold on an annual Christmas trip every year. Now I'd say the number of colds I get has been reduced by 90%. Yet some claim echinacea doesn't work. It's cheap, and as far as I can tell, harmless...so, I do it.
Airborne fizzy tablets seem to help head off the worst symptoms if I do get a cold. I think some of their active ingredients are similar to cold-eze.
And at night, Nyquil works well for me. But as I said, all these things seem to vary considerably among individuals.
