Cold Remedy Regimen

-Zicam Nasal Gel, every four hours
This stuff is magic, start taking it at the first hint of a cold and it will either
keep your symptoms pretty quiet or stop the cold entirely.

-Ibuprofen, every four hours
You can use the generic stuff but it doesn't have the sweet coating like Advil does.

-Saline Sinus rinse
Saline solution squirted in to one nostril, comes out the other. Its like snorting
pool water but does it ever clean you out.

-Multi Vitamin


Even with the best treatment regimen having a cold still sucks. Milo has one too. Hearing the little guy coughing and breathing heavy because of congestion is one heartbreaking sound. He seems oblivious though.

    Poor little fellers. Both Sonny Boy and Baby Boy down with a cold. I hate when that happens. Let's hope Mama stays well to care for the infirmed. Hope you both feel better soon. LYFE Grandma

    The researcher in me wonders:

    how do you know if "the regimen" stops the cold versus not really having a cold at all when you start "the regimen"?

    The reasonable person in you probably wonders:
    why is Kathy such an ass sometimes?

    Love you.

    I have about two lawn-size trash bags full of used Kleenex to prove that I have the cold.

    And K, is that a hot toddy?

    ahhh; so how well does the regimen work, Mr. Kleenex trashbag?

    Thanks! I needed that. I just got one and think I started the Zicam a day late. Hopefully I'll still survive.

    Is that saline rinse like the netti pot thing that Carrie used when she had a bad cold during pregnancy?

    The saline rinse is the same, but you use a squirt bottle instead of a little pot. I think Lyman is becomming a believer. I haven't used it since I was able to take Tylenol Cold and Nyquil again after pregnancy and brest feeding. Ahhh drugs...
