Help! Tried and tested remedies!

[earlyshirley]

I’ve just got over a cold maybe two weeks ago. It took ages to go and it was awful as I always lose my sense of taste and smell (not Covid).
Everyone at work is sneezing and coughing and today I just sneezed about 10 times and feel like a cold is coming on again.

I need to nip this in the bud. Any tried and tested remedies to stop this thing developing any further or am I cooked?

Sorry edited to say I’m in Aus so it’s winter here and evening right now.

I always take a fizzy Vit C with zinc at the start of a cold (this makes sure I drink extra fluids) and a decent multivitamin. It doesn't stop the cold but I always believe it shortens the length of it and also makes it "lighter" (can't think of the right word).

Hayfever tablets do help with colds. Echinacea will help too. Hope you feel better soon.
