OK
any good remedies for the sinus congestion beside the spray that rebounds on you after 3-4 days?
You're not alone. I have a stuffy nose, hacking cough and raspy voice compliments of my DH.
I take good ol fashioned vitamin c chewables everyday and have managed to stay clear of any colds this year, except this one time that I forgot to take them while hubby was sick!
on a more positive note I can belt it out and Toni Braxton eat your heart out.
I really haven't been this miserable in a long time. But better me than DD!
No the flu shots prevent some of the viral stuff but impossible to immune you against all of them. Some nursing homes/hospitals here have a NO visitors policy as it seems to be the only way especially for seniors and others with any serious problems.
Gad I have been reading about the bird flu...upsetting stuff.
i am still recovering...it just hit me last wednesday. thursday was the worst with aches in my back and legs, chills, low grade temp, all the fun stuff. i called in sick to work fri and sat. now i just have a stuffy nose and a dry cough which keeps DH up at night. i hate being sick!!! lucky DH - he must have the immunity of a horse to not have gotten what i have.
It hit me Saturday night and I just came back to being myself today, it was awful! I hope you feel better soon!
it took me two and a half weeks to get past the cough...
DH got the Vertigo Chills worse than I...
all in all 3 weeks sick!
My DS is on round 2 of the illness cycle. First was a cold, which he gave to DH, now its viral bronchiolitis, snorky nose, loose wet cough, and temperatures as high as 39.2. He is eating well, and active if the fever is down. Spoiled our plans to visit for the March Break :( And at my work, we had "the flu" go through on a number of wards, made us take antiviral medication or flu shot or no work, no pay! Flu shot doesn't cover the strain going around anyway.... what a waste!
ds had croup. it peaked last thurs-sat. poor little guy - couldn't sleep and his cough sounded terrible.
now i'm sick too with a very sore throat and congestion.
grrr - i am really over winter this year. i think we all need some sunshine and warm weather.
lots of fluids, Tylenol and chicken soup broth with grated ginger works for us.
and on round 3, my DH bought a bottle of Cold-Fx. You take 9 capsules the first day (3 X 3) then 6(2 x 3) and then 3 (1 x3). It is a herbal remedy...ginseng I think. I think it may have helped when taken exactly as stated. A couple here and there just don't do it. Check with the pharmacist as whether it would be safe for you. My father checked (as he is on high blood pressure medicine) and they advised against it. Chicken soup always works. When I'm the one sick, my DH picks up the Chinese chicken noodle soup...even better! Hope your feeling better soon! :)
my ds has it....poor little munchkin. I would so gladly trade places with him if I could. Though I was up most of the night holding him so he could sleep without coughing he slept ok....better go make more coffee:(
Luv2 hang in there, get lot's of rest!
