just an FYI for those in search of over the counter remedies to fight the COLD AND FLU season....
I’ve found gargling with peroxide and antiseptic mouthwash on a routine basis every time I develop cold or flu symptoms. But the key is to have these handy and to use them early at the first signs of symptoms.
Another thing is routine use of vitamin c in powder form mixed with water and sipped throughout the day.
Kids that rinse their mouths w/ peroxide (spitting it out of course) tend to grow up w/ perfect teeth.
I gargle w/ warm salt water a lot if I feel a scratchy throat. Usually lessens the blow.
