vicks on feet with socks on over that...
go sit in the bathroom with a hot steamy shower...
sleep with a heating pad on low to loosen up the congestion in your chest..
drink hot tea.
NO DAIRY...
warm OJ works to help break up congestion also...
if you are coughing really bad and can't stop..step outside take a deep breath...and that should help relax your throat..
for your headache...if you have an ice pack...or even freeze a DAMP washcloth..put that on your forehead...
advil/tylenol...every 4 hours....
Are you sure that it's only a cold? The headache and soreness makes me immediately think flu symptoms!
You need a great decongestant to use with your nose spray-something like Advil Cold or Alka Seltzer Cold. Take Tylenol/Advil every 4 hours to help with the achiness (what you take depends on the medication that's already in your cold remedy).
Use a steamy bathroom or something simple: boil a large pot of water on the stove, a rolling boil is best. Add some drops of Wintergreen oil to it. Take it off the stove and place it in the sink. Cover your head with a towel and hold your head about 12-16 inches over the top of it, inhaling deeply for several minutes until the steam stops rising. It will help loosen any mucus and will help keep whatever's there mobile.
Also, drink lots of fluids (juice and non carbonated drinks) to keep your body well hydrated. If it's not better in a few days, you may need to go to a doctor for a round of prescription medications.
I hope you feel better soon!
Having an enema or two will help clear out your sinuses, believe it or not!
Also you can visualize your sinuses opening up, allowing air to pass through.
Also, EFT. Go to http://www.emofree.com and download the free manual. This procedure is painless and helps with everything...it's like acupuncture without needles, only more effective.
wow, I'm with Cwgirl but also don't laugh I always did this to my children and husband when they felt like that get Vick's vapor rub and smear it on the bottom of your feet and put socks on over night Gosh it really works honest but get your socks out first so you don't have to walk on the rug or floor with Vicks hope you feel better Buckey
Aww i feel you hunny!
What you should do is, put your feet in some bubbly water ;)
And then get a bowl and put some boiling hot water in
With some tea tree oil
And put your face in the bowl (not to far in so u can burn your nose!!)
And just breathe very slowly through your nose
My brother did this the other day and it worked a treat
