My Go-To Products for Cold/Flu Season

It feels like we've been in this season forever now, but winter is usually when colds are going around. Here are my go to's for when I have a cold: 

• Umcka Cold Care - I take this for preventative measures or when I'm starting to feel slightly under the weather. I swear on this product! It helps prevent colds and reduce the severity of them. 

• Zicam/zinc drops - These are also great for shortening colds. 

• Halls/Ricola drops - These always helped soothe a sore/scratchy throat. 

• Dayquil/Nyquil/Theraflu - Personally i find these the most effective in relieving my cold/flu symptoms. 

• Emergen-C/Vitamins - I take a daily multi-vitamin in case I don't get all my vitamins from food. I'll take an Emergen-C when I feel like I need an extra vitamin C boost! 

• Tea - I love tea, and drinking something warm is always soothing. 

• Vapor Rub/Inhaler - If you're having trouble breathing from a stuffy nose or cough, Vapor Rub and Vick's inhaler are so helpful. The smell is really nice too.

• Effervescent Vapor Tablets - I love using these when my nose is stuffy. Put one on your shower floor, and the scent helps open up your airways.
