Well usually it's viral & we all know that you can't kill the old cold virus really just treat the symptoms.

Like Shanti I use olive leaf extract, high dosage vitamin C & garlic. I use raw garlic. I even put it in my socks and the kids socks!

I personally don't like over the counter meds but of course once it sets in panadol for the headache is good.

I hope you can stave it off.
