Viral colds can’t be cured. Nose blowing makes them worse, but my ABCDE program can keep them under a week without triggering bacterial sinus or chest infections.

A stands for taking an Anti-inflammatory such as Advil or aspirin that reduces pain and congestion. B is for achieving Bacterial control and eliminating crusts with nasal application of triple antibiotic ointment,. C stands for nasal Cleansing with saline aerosol spray to improve breathing by clearing mucus and bacteria. Do each 4 times a day: 8a-12n-4p-8p.

If needed, add a D for Decongestant up to twice a day. Use oral Sudafed or Afrin nasal spray but only up to 5 days. E is for exit using Mucinex DM to curb that hacking cough and Flonase nasal spray to stop lingering nasal drip.

Don’t suffer....use your ABCDEs for that cold.
