Sickness - Abilene,TX

Sounds like common cold ( aka URI - Upper respiratory infection).
Home remedys such as steam inhalation ( best and simple is to use hot water in a container which is not plastic and add a tsp of vicks, inhale the steam which will help open up the passages), Theraflu day and night meds (I feel like these are the best due to the fact that you mix the powder in warm water, you get your medicine, water and warm liquid in the throat, which itself make you feel soothing in the throat. Lots of rest and fluids.
Hope you feel better soon!

Im suffering from the same thing. I finally went to the doctor and got an antibiotic and a cough syrup. I feel much better now but my cough wont go away. Hopefully someone on here will give you good advice on the cough.

One thing that has helped me was musinex D. Oh and the Vicks on your feet really does help. Ive done it for years to kids but never to myself till last week. I was amazed at how well it actually worked.

Hi, these are the following remedies that I take myself and give to my family during a Cold outbreak: I do either or
Take a Spoon of Honey and put a pinch of pure Turmeric Powder mix and swallow. Take it for 3 days
In a cup add a whole juice of 1 lemon or lime and add a tbls. of honey mix and drink it either as is or add 1/2 cup of warn water take this for 3 days as well
Apply vicks at the feet when non stop coughing
Load up on Vitamin C
Drink home made chicken soup
If too lazy to do any of the above I just take Day time or Night Cold medicine
Good Luck

Mucinex, and rinse your nasal passages with salaine at least 2x a day.

Neti Pot always works for me. At first sign, I "neti" and have not gotten sick in 7 years! Sprouts used to carry plastic green neti pots. Buy REALSalt (brand from Redlands, Utah) to use in the water. Test water temp with your elbow. If you get the temp of the water JUST RIGHT, you won't even feel the salt water up in your sinuses. www.youtube.com has some videos on how to use it.

Make some garlic tea with honey and drink it. For the sore throat, gargle with some apple cider vinegar and water!

The best medicine is not treatment...it's prevention!

Inbox me if you would like to know what my family uses that has kept us from being sick for over 5 years now. Not even a cold or flu!

Meanwhile, I hope you feel better soon...
