I haven't found that many good cold medicines that relieved every symptom that I was having. The Advil series sux btw (excpet for Flu and Body Ache). Any suggestions?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
What do you guys think is the best cold medicine out there?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Antibiotics. But those aren't over the counter

Nyquil is good for at night before you go to sleep because it will knock you out. There is a daytime version called Dayquil that works really good at relieving symptoms but it only lasts for 4 or 5 hours for each dose. There are products that give up to 12 hours for relief, you might want to try one of those. Antibiotics on the other hand, will only work for bacterial infections not if your cold is caused by a virus(most colds are).
I saw something new called Zicam which is supposed to reduce the severity and duration of a cold. I haven't tried it yet but I heard it works!
Good luck!

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
But zinc does work for a cold. If you feel like your getting a cold buy some of these tablets called "Cold Eeze" they have some zinc glucose mixture and it will get rid of the cold the same day it starts.
Seriously, its saved me like 3 times in the last year an a half.

Sudafed always seems to do the job for me.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You are correct, however that source sucks to prove so
I looked into it some more on my own.

Heh the website wasnt meant to be a source about the antibiotics, rather it tells you effective treatments for colds.Originally posted by Shiftkey

Zicam is overpriced but works great for me. I had the beginning of a sore throat on thurs night. Bought it and sprayed it into my mouth like mad (every 1.5 hours instead of the 3 that is says to), Fri I still had symptoms till about 3pm when most of them went away. Im fine now. So it shortened the cold alot. This is the second time that it helped me so it must work because my colds usually take about a week or two to run themselvs out

I would not recommend taking over 100mg of zinc a day.

fitnessguy, what are the side affects of taking too much zinc? I didnt have anywhere near 100mg but I was taking 2x the dosage for a day.

Abdominal cramping, diarrhea, vomiting, increased risk for prostate cancer, and anemia. Also the more zinc you have, the less copper you have, and the less good cholesterol.
If in general you eat a high protein diet you probably have a good amount of zinc in your system so don't have to worry about being in a deficiency. If you take a multi-vitamin you are probably getting plenty of zinc with that and your diet. If you are not, supplementing with say a 50mg pill of zinc is fine I would think.
