    Default my zicam dissolvable tabs aren't working as fast as i want them to!

    grr. I want to work today but I don't want to deal with the cigarette smoke making me worse. I've got a sore throat and I'm a bit phlegmy. Been taking zicam religiously since yesterday, normally I couple it with airborne but i didn't this time.

    Don't know if i still feel crummy because i didn't add the airborne or if the cold is just strong.



    yuck.

    I'll probably go in.
    any tips for beating this cold with a big stick would be helpful.

    I usually use Zicam also when I feel I'm starting to get sick. I don't know any way to make it work faster, but when I first start to take it, I take it more often than it says to. I usually take it every 2 hours instead of every 3 for the first day. It tends to upset my stomach a little, so I make sure I eat more in between taking the tablets so I constantly have something in my stomach.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    The lack of vitamin C is probaly slowing down the process, but also try switching to the original nasal Zicam or at least the nasal swabs. The membranes in your nose absorb certain minerals like zinc faster and more efficently than taking it orally.

    I have the rapid melts with Vitamin C, but I'm not sure how many mg's or g's of Vitamin C is in it (I threw away the box.)

    I think i'll try the swabs. I just didn't want to lose my sense of smell :*/

    The swabs are the best IMHO.
