<p>I use Umcka coldcare and it really helps shorten and/or stops me from actually getting a full blown cold. I also use a nette pot with salt water. We steam with a towel over a bowl of hot water and take mucinex. The problem is she is not here with me. The steamer is a good idea. I have a humidifier at home but not a steamer. I wonder what kind to buy? I will take it to the theater when she is due back from all county. Do you think I should put vix vapor in it or buy a vix vapor inhaler/stick. Thanks everyone.</p>
