help. :\. don't want to see ENT for more antibiotics. want to get rid of whatever the hell I've got on my own. using saline rinse and squirt bottle thingie. it's a trap.
Hot water humidifer, Vicks VapoSteam. Icy Hot for the neck and back. Vicks VapoRub for the upper lip. Mentholatum Deep Heating for your bare, naked chest. But most importantly, get a bag of styrofoam cups for the 3:00 am snort and spit.
Lost my voice last weekend. Congestion. Now, dry coughing non stop. Think I might have to bite the bullet and go see the doc.
this is from allergies or cold? add a bit of salt to our saline rinse eat pho or any of the noodle/soup dishes, that'll relief the misery for a little while
On top of some of the suggestions others have posted, drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. There is truly nothing like restful sleep to help the body get over being ill.
Lots of Mucinex and sleep. Seasonal allergies are the trigger. Make sure you're taking something like a Zyrtec at least daily.
I used this Neti Pot for my Maxillary Sinus. Be sure to use clean distilled water should you get one.
You need a good night-time reliever like TheraFlu. Also, there's a Sinus/Allergy Tylenol... for night and daytime. Good luck. "That's what SHE said... or HE said."
I got the same. Started just this morning. Got it from the roommate. Sucks, cuz my birthday is tomorrow. Oh well. I'm sure it's OK to chug mucinex and take myriad shots at the same time.
not really sure. possible sinus infection (I seem to be prone to them) from just wearing my body down last few weeks I think.
What out for the Amoebas "Washing noses with neti pots or squeeze bottles has become increasingly popular as a home remedy for colds, allergies and sinus trouble. But it's not such a great remedy if it kills you." http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/201...t-death-from-amoeba-prompts-tap-water-warning
when i have this problem, which happens quite frequently, because i have allergies and i live in Austin. I take tons of nasal decongestants. Those dry up your nose pretty well. OTC stuff, usually the pills that you take every 2 to 4 hours and I double up on them if its really bad.
