GroupInterventionDescription
PlaceboColdZyme PlaceboWater based mouth spray manufactured to be similar to ColdZyme® Mouth Spray. The IP should be applied every second hour up to 6 times, with each time 2 sprays (1 dose) per occasion. The IP use should start when following conditions have been fulfilled: * Answering "Yes" to either of the questions in the subject daily diary: "Do you think/feel you have a cold?" or "Do you think/feel you are coming down with a cold (might be having the first signs of cold)?" AND * A Jackson score of at least 1 in the subject's cold diary (mild = present, but not disturbing or irritating) for any symptom except headache The IP should be used until 2 days after the subject is symptom free (=answering "No" to the question "Do you think that you are still sick with this respiratory infection?" for 2 days in a row), but not longer than 10 days in total.
