Zicam

[Guest guest]

I was told of a homeopathic cold remedy called

" Zicam " Cold remedy swabs. You put the swab just slightly

inside each nostril. My daughter is extremely congested

and the chicken soup/cayenne pepper/lemon is not working

that well.

The ingrediants in this are:

Benzalkonium chloride, glycerin, hydroxyethylcellulous,

purified water, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide.

Has anyone used this and it is safe?

would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks -

I've used it with great success, but I read recently that a small number of

people have permanently lost their sense of smell from using the nasal

swabs. There is a nasal spray and a throat spray that also work really

well, and are apparently not linked to the loss of smell. It only works

well if you start giving it at the very beginning of the cold. If you wait

until the cold is well-established you're wasting your time using it.
