436012 tn?1204326008 Sounds like the flu. Keep the windows open (if it's not too cold), have her take some zinc, vitamin D3 and 1000mg of vitamin C and drink lots of electrolytes (Gatorade). A zinc lozenge will sooth the throat. If she coughs get a syrup that will diminish coughing (Robitussin). Try to get her to stay home from work and rest, if possible. These illnesses are generally self-limiting, but they often make the rounds of an entire family.
Avatar m tn Again, I'm assuming this is to improve absorption, as absorbing minerals is slow and for fighting a virus it needs to be quick. But that's a lot of zinc for two months. I'd do some homework on this. Zinc helps do two things that most doctors don't usually know -- boosts the immune system so things heal more quickly (often used in veterinary medicine) and to fight viruses. But it would seem, if you're concerned about the taste, there are lots of alternatives.
1323278 tn?1298122488 My husband will pop a 25 mg every time he think he maybe coming down with a cold, and/or the cold has hit. The zinc seems to shorten the amount of time that he is sick. Hope this helps!
Avatar n tn Is it safe to take cough drops while having a cold? I would call my dr to see if it's ok but she takes so long to get back to me. What are some safe ways to ease a dry itchy throat. I know I can take Tylenol but that doesn't really work for me.
Avatar n tn Fever is part of the immune system and blood temperature rises because many organisms can only reproduce with a narrow range of temperatures. A zinc lozenge can sooth the throat (zinc is bactricidal). Usually colds are self-limiting. If it moves into the throat or lungs or there is yellow mucus see your physician. If there is lung congestion a bit of guinefesen will be helpful to "bring it up". Keep her warm, avoid excess air conditioning.

Avatar f tn I swear by zinc lozenges on the first onset of a sore throat. I'm only 5 Weeks pregnant and wouldn't you know it, I have the start of a sore throat. anyone know if it's ok to take the lozenges? I know, I know, I need to ask my OB but I don't even have one in place yet since I'm so early on.
Avatar n tn and yet both my doctor and clinic are aware I have gained some 30kgs, have been treated for insomnia and depression. I am also constantly cold and my blood pressure is still high. I have taken a drastic step to move to Pressure Eeze (Herbal suppliment) with Magnesium and Potassium suppliments and am also now following a strict pressure friendly diet. I only started this today!!! how long with it take to gain a normal heart rate back?
Avatar f tn I am 8 weeks prego. I got this terrible cold with runny nose, headache, and sore throat. I have no energy at all. I know it can be dangerous to use meds. Does somebody knows what can I do to get better? Please help!
250701 tn?1320974765 s Refresh (moisturizer lozenge) for dry mouth, it was in the cold aisle at Walmart. Also Biotene makes a spray and gum for dry mouth. I am alternating with sugar free candy, it is miserable, I can sympathize.
Avatar n tn I was retching and spitting but staved off throwing up. (zinc lozenge and mouthwash to trick the urge.) I then cycled between chills and feverish for 3 days. After 3 days I was fine... but I did experience a few days of skyrocketed blood pressure weeks later with tight pulsating base of neck and sharp stabs of pain under left lower rib cage. Today I feel great. Feverish was 98.2 and MY normals run mid 96 to mid 97. (Couple yrs ago recovering from RSV I bottomed out in the mid 95's.
4850939 tn?1370543309 Thanks :)
Avatar f tn It feels raw where I put the lozenge on both sides of my mouth. Do you that this is from the lozenge and extended use?
Avatar n tn I wound up with a sore throat last Sunday after waiting in the local emergency room 4 hours for a family member to get some stiches. The guy in the next bed on the other side of the curtain was suspected of having strep (those emergency room curtains are thin). Anyway, my sore throat started just slightly while still in the ER, but was turning into something significant later on that evening, and I could tell I was in for it if I didn't do something quick.
975357 tn?1252704723 The next time I started getting a cold, I tried JUST vitaminc C and made out fine - so I tried the zinc/vitamin C lozenges again and once again, broke out in hives and itching/difficulty breathing. VOILA!! I knew 100% that it was the zinc in the lozenge that I am allergic to.
Avatar f tn Try getting lots of zinc. It's the only thing proven to shorten a cold, there is something in zinc that inhibits viral reproduction and if you are early on enough in your cold it can help shorten the duration.
Avatar f tn I searched google first and could only find that a certain percentage of the lozenge is nicotine and the rest is other ingredients.
Avatar n tn I've had my flu jab so think I've came down with an awful cold, my throat is killing and I can't stop coughing.. I'm coughing that bad I can hardly sleep and my ribs are killing me. The chemist said I can't take anything for it just vapour rub and crystals as I'm 33+2 weeks Any idea what I can do to reduce the coughing? Much appreciated. I've tried to steam it out by going in the bath, drinking cups of tea ect..
