Answers:
There aren't any particularly nasty viruses going around currently, not any worse than other times!. Any cold you have is nasty, some just nastier than others!. Aside from the usual advice to rest and drink, and use the over the counter cold preps to help relieve the symptoms, there just isn't anything else!. Colds are caused by one of a few hundred different variants, and have to be fought off by your immune system!. Antibiotics just don't work!. The congestion is usually easier to take if you stay somewhat upright, keep the room you are in on the cool side, and have some moisture in the air you breathe!. While I am currently healthy, my 8 year old son has a cold, and is every bit as miserable as you sound!. Of course he's convinced he's dying, and that his nose is going to fall off his face if he blows one more time!. For that there is only tissues with aloe vera or lotion!. For the congestion/stuffy nose, if you can locate some Olbas oil, usually sold in Health Food shops- that's nice stuff to help cut through!. Failing that there is plain old Vicks!. Unsexy, but effective, as long as you don't mind the greased pig feeling, which he does!. Hang in there, colds are usually the worst on days 3-5, and get better after that!. And yes, the more you rest and drink, the faster it does shift off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have been suffering with chest congestion, fever, cough, tiredness, etc for a week, and yes it is going around!. I feel your pain!. I have been taken mucinex dm, lots of hot liquids, vicks vapor rub, cough drops, and those vicks tissues have been great on my nose!. Hope some of these tips help you and you feel better soon! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
There isn't any going around where I'm at put I'm sure with the weather changing there will be soon!.
Get some over the counter meds!. I like to use shower soothers in the morning to help relieve my stuff nose!. At night try vicks vapor rub!.
Make sure you clean/disinfect common house hold items you touch such as the phone, keyboard, doorknobs etc so you don't get infected again!.
Wash hand frequently!.
Make sure you eat properly!.
Try to sleep proped up so if you have drainage it doesn't irrate your throat as much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
