Good luck Mimi. That sounds terrible. Your poor hubby. I got hit with a cold on Sunday. Monday was worse with a nasal drip and now it's all dried up. I swear by sambucol which is black elderberry extract. My whole family has been taking it since my son started with sniffles and a fever on Friday evening and now we are pretty much done. Thank goodness. Also oil of oregano is sometng Ive heard so many people swear by and warm water with honey(preferably local) and cinnamon in it is good for colds. Be well everybody. Spring will be here before you know it :-)
