i can feel my throat getting tingly and have been sneezing a little more than usual and i know im about to get sick. but i want to do something about it before i actually am sick and dont want to go to the doctor just yet because thats costly. is there something i can take? something i can get just off the shelf to prevent my condition from getting any worse and maybe get better?
 
Welcome to the boards, Djleo . . . I have been seeing commercials for Zicam products that are either supposed to stop a cold in its tracks or shorten the duration. You might want to check with your pharmacy.

Echinacea and goldenseal tea has been helpful to me in the past if you wish to try and go the natural route.

Meantime, pick up some Vitamin C to help boost your immune system.

Drinking warm fluids and drinking plenty of fluids (no alcohol or carbonation) will help keep some of the misery at bay as well. Recommended daily fluid intake (fruit juice, water, tea) is half your body weight in ounces.

Let us know how you do!

Vitamin C is definitely good for your immune system, especially if its combined with zinc, but you need to take it all the time and not just when you're ill. Drink lots of fluids and get plenty of sleep.
