Are these safe? I can't seem to find conclusive information. LO has a cold and both DH and I feel it coming on. We've got a 12 hour drive in a few days, and I would like to boost our immune systems as much as possible in the meantime!

Sure, totally fine.

I've taken emergen-C. You can also take vit D supplements & probiotics as both promote healthy immune systems.

I don't know what's in Zicam but isn't Emergen-C just a bunch of good stuff to help protect your immune system (with about 1k mg of Vit C)? Sounds safe. I usually just take two 500 mg of Vit C when I feel a cold coming on or when I travel to help protect myself. Hopefully your LO's cold won't be as bad for you guys. It's always harder on the LOs... Get plenty of rest!

I don't know about zicam, but emergen c is totally safe.

I would be careful about taking too much especially if you have a really little baby. I think EmergenC says you can take 2 per day but thats way more than the recommended amount of vitamin C per day.
I took EmergenC when my daughter was older (around a year) and I just took one per day.
