Offered FWIW.

No, we don't have Airborne. When I go to the UK I always on Lemsip (Max) pills. Those things work great, also not for preventing, but it makes you feel lots better. I'm down to my five last pills, so I keep those for when I feel really bad. We've got Antigrippine, a mixture of paracetamol, caffeine and vitamin C. Not as good, but okay.
When I get a cold I almost always also get a throat infection, that's usually the start of my cold. We've got Strepfen in both lozenges and spray. That spray is disgusting, but it works for taking away the pain and swelling and fighting off the infection. That stuff has helped several times from me getting a full blown throat infection and the cold was gone in a few days.
At least it isn't as bad as in January 2017, when the Saturday night before I left (on a Monday) I had a raging fever, that didn't break until early Monday morning.
