It all started the winter I had to get sick EVERY two weeks. I think that maybe because I worked in a restaurant, it just made it easier for me to get sick being around people's dirty dishes and whatnot. I had everything from the common cold to Bell's Palsy, it was ridiculous. While I was sick, my dad bought me these. I instantly starting feeling better. One time, when I was sick, I had sucked on coughdrops so much, I ended up getting ulcers on my tongue. You don't have this problem with COLD-EEZE. Nothing soothes you better than this, not even Dayquil. I'd recommend this product to anyone that's as prone to getting sick as I am.
