What if I have a bad cold?
When I feel a cold coming on, I usually use zinc lozenges that really do, as the package says "reduce the duration and severity of the common cold". I esp. like to use one to fall asleep when my throat is sore and itchy.
But these lozenges have 4.6 g of sugar each. I am not going to take them, even though this cold is settling in deep and miserable. I am never going to eat anything w/sugar again.
I'm just wondering if any LCers on this forum have thoughts on LC cold remedies?
And what about the old saw, "starve a cold, stuff a fever"?
I'd appreciate any advice.
