Problems Sleeping with the flu?!
Question: My head is really stuffy. I've got the flu. I took a Claritin D, it hasn't done anything to get rid of the pressure. I haven't had a real nights sleep in four days. My throat feels raw and when I breath deeply the back of my nose and throat burn. Is there anything that I can do to get rid of the congestion, pain, and actually get some sleep?

Take a Tylenol pm(to rest), eat some home made chicken soup, the broth will help clear your nose. Gargle with warm salt or vinegar water several times a day to ease your throat pain. Boil some lemons, peppermints and sugar to sweeten, this will help your throat and nose congestion. Drink plenty (vitamin c products also) of liquids and get plenty of rest. Hope you get well soon.
nyquil, tylenol pm, any kind of pm drug will ease your pain and help put you to sleep
