Cold remedies?
My sinuses are going haywire and I'm just an insane snot factory, so much so that it's upsetting my stomach and in the middle of the night I throw up mucus uncnontrolably. It is disgusting. I can't eat. I forced myself to eat some fruit and half of a papoosa. This only happens to me once a year if that, so because I don't get sick often I don't know what to do.
I bought some Tylenol sinus (got yesterday), Theraflu tea (just purchased), and Zicam swabs (just purchased). I need to kill this sickness now!
- gin and tonic
i'm not kidding. work for me for whatever reason...pango - Hot Toddies and pseudoephedrine.thumb_screws

- Theraflu tea (daytime) in the morning + any strong expectorant. Theraflu syrup (sleep aid stuff) before bed. Cured myself in days after week and half of hell.futurefood

- DON'T take OTC nasal decongestants - a) recent evidence shows the active non pseudoephedrine chem is bollocks. b) it just shunts the problem down the lineNairn
- Saline nasal sprays are pretty good, mind.Nairn
- The WORST sinus pain I ever had was after taking sudafed a few years back - sure, it 'worked' for a day, but it just drove the problem deeper thereafter.Nairn
