Coldeze: There is no cure for the common cold.The zinc in coldeze may shorten the duration of a cold by a day or so. Symptomatic treatment will make you feel better and make it seem to pass more quickly. Throat lozenges for sore throat, pseudephedrine for nasal congestion, Robitussin-DM for cough and tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain and discomfort when needed are what i recommend.
