This is the time of the year for weather change..
It's cold, then warm, then cold again, then warms up again....
Unfortunately when this happens, a lot of people get sinus infections, and this is probably what you're going through...
Your nose is stuffed because your sinuses are affected by different temps...
Your throat is sore because of sinus drainage.. Usually your throat will be affected more when you sleep because of this. And you may sleep with your mouth open because you can't breathe through your nose... this will cause your throat to become sore..
Go to an Indian Grocer (if you can find one) or call them and ask if they have any AMLA-C ... this is the highest form of Vitamin C that you can find... take as directed... it's great and all natural.. Amla is Indian Gooseberry.
I would also recommend Astragalus... this herb will combat sinus.. but you must be consistent in taking both of these...
Also if you get a wash cloth and try to get it as hot as possible.. ring it out and then lay it on your forehead, and then one across your nose and on the cheeks... this will break up your sinuses and clear your head... keep repeating...
Drink plenty of green tea with honey and lemon...
Fluids and take some good rest....
Get Well Soon :)
Try some wellness fizz. You can drink it in cold or hot. I recommend taking it like a tea.
drink dry ginger
Zinc is supposed to help boost your immune system to fight off sickness. so you could buy some zinc lozenges (near the cough drops in the store) and suck on them.
You sound like you have allergies...go buy some Claritan D at the store and take one...
Well none of the alt-med quacks bothered to mention that you don't have a fever. 98.2 could even be considered low, 99 isn't high enough to be considered a fever.
You may have a cold, which is a virus so there isn't much you can do about it. Drink plenty of fluids and get a lot of rest and wait it out.
Take 2 tablespoons of honey in a large mug pour in boiling water and leave enough room to add the juice of one lemon and adjust to taste it should taste slightly bitter.
Take 2 panadol and retire to bed, get at least 2 hours sleep.
If you wish to unblock your nose, there are 2 acupressure points, half way a long the (Sterno-cleidomastoid) the muscles that runs from behind the ears down a long both shoulders to the top of the arms.
When you locate these points they will be very tender massage these points until the tenderness goes.
If you get the right points, you will find the nose will unblock GOOD LUCK.
Drinking warm milk laced with Turmeric will help to bring down the fever immediately. Its also good for sore throat. For better results take it before sleeping and don't drink any water after it.
