I'm back.

Went to Eckerd and got the Cold-Eeze...on sale! Yippy!

Anyway, I am a firm believer in reading all the directions, cautions and so on about meds before I pop them in my mouth. Thanks for the info.

And, I did read "do not eat or drink citrus fruits or juices 1/2 hour before or after taking Cold-Eeze"

Wouldn't ya know it. I drank some apple juice on my way to pick it up. So... I am on water now waiting for a 1/2 hour to pass....

Did the Cold-eeze help at all?

They believe the mechanism of action is that the zinc in the lozenge coats the cold virus, preventing it from spreading and getting worse. That's why you are supposed to suck it slowly and not chew it. I think it's the same principle behind Zi-cam...or whatever it is...the nasal spray.

Anyway, I've had good results with it. I don't give it to the 5 year old, but I did give it to Matthew when he was getting a cold (I knew it was a cold...he got it from Joshua). It stopped it in it's tracks with him!
