Sick... yuck.

Rakie

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to...
SO, I can barely breathe, my nose is like... leaking, it's never been this bad or gross I almost need a freaking towel to blow my nose :mad:

I've taken all the medicines I've had the nose drops and Flonase and all kinds of other crap.


So, the only thing I've got going on now is Tool in the background.


:crying: (Im not crying, thats my nose freaking out)
 
Claritin is one of the best nose-clearer up medicines out there. What do you call Anti-hystimine (pretty sure I butchered that spelling). Also suck water up your nose in the shower and then blow it out. It washes all the snot out. Repeat until you can breath through your nose. Drink enough water so your snot can the consistency of motor oil.
 
I would go to the Doc and get some antibodies unless you think it's just allergies. I had a NASHTY sinus infection last month, the Doc cured me with some big horse pills. :cool: Also, ask the Doc for some Ambifed G samples. That stuff had my head dried out and clear within a few hours!!

Claritin was suggested to me by my doctor when I had a cold. You can use it without having alergies.
 
OR you could suck it up an quit being a baby!

I'm just kidding. Breathing hot steam or putting a hot washcloth over your sinuses and nose might help. Get lots of vitamin C. I recommend Emergen-C, it's a powder you mix with water. Tastes pretty good and will help a lot.

Hope you feel better!

Yeah I'm with Dis on this. Man Law number 111. NO WHINING!!!!!
 
If I'm severely congested, I boil a small pot of water, and breathe heavily over it for five minutes. Add those Theraflu packets if you want. The humidity really helps.

Also, go take a shower, turn the pressure down low, put the temperature up as hot as you can bare it, and stand under the shower head with your face and forehead directly in the stream. Breathe through your mouth for a while and let your face get warmed up, then start carefully breathing through your nose. That's THE best method for screwed up sinuses that I've ever found.
 
Its slightly better now, still present however. I've been drinking lots of tea for the sore throat, I also like to put in the lozenge's in the tea when im making it (I do it on the stove) it helps a lot with the throat.

Showering has been helping too, i took 3 showers yesterday, its a quick fix but doesn't solve it.

I'll work on the others !
