Buh-Bye Zicame
I just took my 2nd Zicame quick dissolve pill. I was about 1/2 way through it when it made me gag and then I wanted to throw up and had to spit the rest of it out. Clearly, stuffing a q-tip up my nose or spritzing my throat (or really anything) is infinitely preferrable to my reaction to those quick dissolve tablets.

I don't even think it works. I have much more faith in Echinacea. Even if it is a placebo effect, it works for me.
Joanne, you should buy the zinc & vit c combo lozenges that the drugstores put out generically (in the aisle with all the cough drops and sore throat drops). The ones I have are lemon flavored and aren't bad at all. Don't taste like medicine at all, more like hard candy. They work awesomely...zinc is the bomb when it comes to colds but Zicam is very expensive.
My husband and I did the qtip thing from Zicam (which is really not that bad) but they just cost so much, I switched to the generic lozenges and they are cheaper and work great.
Oh, and I also use the "airborne" tablets but you have to dissolve those in water so they are less convenient but they seem to work great at kicking a cold before it takes hold as well.
