Fighting off a cold?

Yes I’ve had the sniffles this week and it’s making me a little miserable, but I’ve found a couple of things I hope will ease the pain.  Tons of pharmacies around Saigon sell Plussz.  It dissolves quickly in a glass of water, tastes pretty okay, and claims to have vitamin C and zinc.  And I found Echinacea tablets at GNC.  They’re not cheap, but I try to minimise the amount of serious pharmaceuticals I take, so I’m willing to pay the extra for these in the hope that they’ll keep my cold from becoming too severe or lasting too long.
