    Getting Sick, What Can I Do?
    I feel a cold coming on and I have the best weekend ever planned and am going to be so sad if being sick ruins it... is there anything I can do in the next day and a half to help me feel better sooner?? Thanks?! Lol

    Zicam cold remedy worked for me.
    You can buy it at the drug store/pharmacy.
    I bought the gel swabs for the nose because I heard they work the best, but they have lots of different ways you can take it.
    The gel nose swabs felt kind of gross, but it worked.

    Zicam is primarily Zinc. You can buy tablets in the vitamin section of the drug store (I found Zinc pills to be cheaper than Zicam) It works because Zinc helps lessen the affects and duration of the common cold. Also, Vitamin C can help.

    You could also go to the doc for some help. A Rx may be in order.

    I've heard of something called Air Born (not sure of the correct spelling of the Brand name);actually I've taken it before, it is full of Vitamin C and it is taken specifically for the purpose you have stated. Check your local drug pharmacy, I'm sure they can help you.
