I swear by zinc above all others. It does seem to work, but only at the first sign of a cold. Once you get a cold, nothing can make it go away, except rest and time. The best treatment seems to be to focus on things that make you feel less miserable. A friend suggested fresh ginger tea, so I'm going to try that.

Watch out for antibiotics. They treat bacterial infections, not viral ones, like colds and flu. I read that used in treatment of viral infections can cause harm. And of course, overuse of antibiotics is not a good idea.
