9. *lol* Guess that would not be for me! I haven't touched tequila |
|
since I was 17, and a good thing, too. Nasty stuff. The THOUGHT of the smell alone is enough to make me hurl!

Nothing will cure it but rest.
Also, Sudaphed (the real stuff behind the pharmacy) to decongest, Tylenol or Advil for the soar throat or achiness. A antihistamine like Benadryl to stop post nasal drip and to help you sleep. Looks of fluids and no milk/dairy. Those saline nasal rinses will clear you out in a hurry too.

10. I'm taking the store brand Sudaphed; the real deal makes me |
|
feel just nasty...I'm also pounding zinc and vitamin C and quercetin (hoping the latter two will also help with the latest chronic hive outbreak, yikes). I can't take Benadryl; I have the opposite reaction from most people: it kicks my hives into high-gear, next level itching, and keeps me awake for DAYS.
I did sleep in quite a bit this morning, and I'm sure I'll nap later :-) It's getting a little easier to breathe!

Do you have a vaporizer? No? You can hold your head over a bowl of steaming water, or over the sink with a towel tented over your head to hold in the steam. Got Vicks? Smear some on your chest and put on an old T shirt.
