Try Zicam: Many patients find that using this remedy based upon homeopathic amounts of zinc greatly shortens the duration of symptoms. It is available in lozenge and spray forms. A previously available nasal swab reportedly caused loss of the sense of smell. The trick is to use as soon as symptoms of the cold appear. There are many other remedies based upon zinc that also reportedly work well.
