Sucking on zinc lozenges at the first sign of a cold can help reduce the duration of the cold. Look for those containing zinc gluconate, zinc acetate or zinc citrate. Stop using them when the cold is over. Zinc can hinder the absorption of certain antibiotics. If you are a smoker recovering from surgery or a serious wound, you might want to use the event to stop smoking. Smoking delays wound-healing probably due to the constriction of the blood vessels in the skin and adversely affecting certain blood components resulting in longer healing times.

It appears to work better in people who haven’t received any previous drug therapy. As usual with most herbal products, choose a reliable brand. We can help you with this. When putting eye drops in your eyes, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch. Put the required dose in the pouch and keep the eye closed for at least 30 seconds. At the same time, gently apply pressure to the bridge of the nose at the corner of the eye. This helps keep the medication in place longer.
