Oscillococcinum is made by the same company as ColdCalm and is similar to a degree. O is more for flu and C is more for colds. Airborn is especially good to prevent a cold in the 1st place if you are going to be somewhere buggy or around sick people. I like to take it when I fly so I don't catch everyones bug on the plane.
It appears there are problems Zicam and with Cold-Eeze too.

I didn’t think about the danger and accidents due to loss of smell.
(When I half jokingly said it may be a good way to loose weight)
Quote:
People who have total or partial loss of the sense of smell are almost twice as likely to have some kinds of accidents or incidents than people who have normal smell (or olfactory) function. According to the results of a study at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center that appear in the March issue of Archives of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery. Researchers reviewed medical records for the past twenty years and discovered that there were several important danger areas:
• cooking-related accidents
• exposure to an undetected fire or gas* leak
• eating or drinking spoiled foods or toxic substances by individuals with this sensory impairment
