Emergen-C packets. I do 2/day. DayQuil around the clock. Colds suck!
So terribly sorry to hear about your Mom.
If it progresses down into your lungs, and/or is causing a bad cough, I would consider antibiotics and steroids.

Time. Fluids. Rest. Decongestants can help some with the stuffy symptoms but aren't a remedy.

This works for me. Better to take it early…and often…every three hours. I’m a believer.

And if running isn’t your style, good walk will still be awesome.

Why is everyone so anti zpak? Helps me in like 24 hours instead of suffering

Ask your doc 3 questions next time you get a z pack.

They aren't, for actual infections, but antibiotics not warranted for viral cold

I hate them because they are used like this, and there is nothing that a z pack
cougaman

Well, I'm alergic so we'll save that debate for another time. Most likely just viral.
