Question:
How are cold symptoms best treated?
Answer:
Zinc lozenges may reduce the duration and intensity of cold symptoms, but reports are mixed. In general, each symptom of a cold may be treated separately. See sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, sneezing, runny nose, fever, chills, and muscle aches.
