Ugh. You know when you're coming down with a cold...

[TKDmom]

And you're not really stuffed up yet, but you can feel your sinuses working overtime, and you'd really rather just lay in bed, but nobody else can see that you're sick, so they think you should be up and out of bed...?

 

Well, that's how I feel.

 

So does anyone want to come over here to make me some chicken noodle soup and fold a couple dozen loads of laundry?

 

Pretty please? :D

:grouphug: (I actually had a neighbor call me and ask me to do that once.)

If I were close, I would. I have some soup in the freezer. :grouphug::grouphug:

Try zinc instead. Suck it under your tongue every 4 hours. Maybe the cold will not take hold that way. It often works for me, although never for my DH (but I get colds in my throat, and he gets them in his chest).

Try Neilmed nasal rinses twice a day and gargle with warm salt water 3 times a day to prevent it from getting worse.

 

Walmart carries the Neilmed nasal rinse bottles. For the gargling use 1/2 teaspoon salt in glass of warm water.

Thanks guys. :001_smile: I was feeling sorry for myself this morning, but I think I'll be okay now.

My DH actually brought home one of these last week. I broke down and used it a few hours ago, and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. I felt almost normal for a couple of hours.

Vinegar on cotton swabs in the ears a few times a day will help wipe it out pronto....
