Hannelore, I can relate! My darling grandson just gave me another cold on Sunday - it took me almost 3 weeks to get rid of the one he gave me on New Year's Day! So I've been following this thread with invested interest, drinking lots of hot water with honey - it's very soothing on the throat. I take echinacea too; in the past it's helped keep the viruses away, but it didn't help at all with the New Year's cold.

How are you feeling today?
