The old fashioned method works almost everytime Angelia!. Go the drugstore and get some Vic's Vapor Rub and but it on the top of your chest and by your neck!. You can dissolve some of it in hot water too before you go to bed and breath it in!. But you need to put it on your upper chest and around your neck!. You can be generous, you'll just have to wash your nightshirt in the morning!. And make sure you are cleaning up everything on the bed!. Change those pillow sheets everyday!. If you don't have time to wash then you take a bath towel and use that for your pillowcase until you get everything washed with bleach!. If you leave the pillowcase on, those germs live there for more than 24 hours, and you just breath them back in everytime you lay down!. Same goes for the blanket!. Every couple of days you need to change it or spray it with Lysol spray!. The Vic's won't cost you much!. Get at Walmart if you have one close by!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i had a cold and took NyQuil and it helped but after i got better i had trouble sleeping for a while because i was dependent on NyQuil and that's not good!. get some vapor rub and put some on your chest!. try to sleep upright or almost upright!. sleeping totally flat can make you feel worse!. get some nose decongestant spray, 4 Way is good!. this will clear up your nose and make it easier to breathe at night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i think a cold is from lack of care!. i hate having a stuffy nose while sleeping because it irrates me or i cant breathe well!. drink lots of water so you can wash down all the germs and never sniff up the liquid coming down your nose NEVER!. i havent had a cold since winter and thats 10 months ago!. put some vaporub on your neck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You could use an over the counter nasal spray (like Afrin)!.!.!. but don't use it for more than a couple days!! Read the directions on the bottle, using it for more than 2 or 3 days can make you reliant on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try NeoCitran or Tylenol Cold (the nighttime stuff, of course)!. NeoCitran generally puts me right to sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
