They have a product called cold calm for colds and Oscullococcium is more for the flu. I would say Oscillococcium has saved us more than a few times from the flu but sorry that I can't say the same about ColdCalm.

I believe that is more for a flu. Not sure it would do anything for a cold.
Plenty of fluids and some extra chewable vitamin C. Possibly a humidifier or steam shower with him. Sleep.
Add some top notch vitamins to his daily diet to help build up his immunity to avoid future colds.
I have not heard of it. For a cold give your 4 year old some extra vitamin D and a probiotic. Helps their immune system. Animal Parade is the brand I use for the Vitamin D and Florastor Kids probiotic...I know colds are no fun.
That's a Boiron product for flu symptoms, and they also have other stuff for kids too. If it's just a cold, try the Cold Calm, we also use the Chestal for coughs and congestion when needed. One nice thing, aside that it's homeopathic, is that my daughter (3yrs) and I can share the same bottle of (ex.) cough syrup if we need to, just different dosages! Good for you, that you want to go 'natural' :)
Here's a link to their website with info on all products.

Home made, fresh chicken and vegetable soup is the best thing for colds and flu.
i use it whenever flu is going around, and love it. it works best (for me) as a preventative. my younger son is just coming out of a nasty bout of flu and it didn't help him much, but he was pretty sick by the time he came to me.
for a cold i'd use tons of vit C, sage tea and garlic soup.

Everyone is right that it is for the flu, not colds. However, I just wanted to add that you don't need to use the entire tube for one dosage. That is wasteful. We use only 1/2 per dose for all of us. With homeopathy, if you take more than you need, it is just wasted. There are no negative side effects like pharmaceuticals.
It's been around for a LONG time and I do know people that swear by it. There is a Childrens Oscillococcinum as well. (For kids over 2.)
I used Oscillococcinum for flu symptoms and it seemed to help.
I use Zicam meltaways for my 4 year old, my husband and myself...zinc is the recommendation to minimize colds (recommend by another mother who used it). It seems to cut short the duration if taken soon as a cold is suspected.
i tried natrabio 4 my daughters cough n congestion. it worked well also hylands 4 her flu:)
