I'm getting sick! What should I do?
What can I do to prevent myself from getting sicker?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Also, take Cold-Eeze the day you get the symptoms. I'm not a big Zicam fan, but I love Cold-Eeze, and my logical/skeptical partner does, too. I know my body pretty well, and it's saved me from colds many times. The least yechy, Zinc-y flavor we've found is the Lemon Lime flavor, which cuts the zinc taste a bit.
I tried Zicam recently after a recommendation from a friend and truly believe that it works. I generally stay sick for 2-3 weeks, but with the Zicam, the cold was gone in just over a week. It's expensive and there are some risks with taking that much Zinc by nose (there are oral versions available) but I think it is worth it.
Anectodally, I've heard that Zicam doesn't work all that well.
Then again... the placebo effect works!
