I'm leaving for the grocery store and need advice

[lizziegrace]

what would go well in coffee and help my bronchitis and sinus infection? Suggestions?

[VenusRising]

1. NyQuil.

Sure, your coffee will taste funny, but you won't care about not feeling well.

I do hope that you feel better. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

2. I was thinking about something found in the alcohol aisle

;)

You're right, though. It'll taste nasty but it won't matter.

3. Nothing goes well in coffee.

It is meant to be drank black. For the bronchitis/sinus infection, I'd suggest Mucinex.


:donut:

6. Been living on Mucinex and Sudafed

I've had asthma since I was 2. I start taking that at the first signs of congestion.

4. drink hot herbal teas, instead...

:hug:

5. I'd suggest

forgetting the coffee and swtiching to tea with lemon and honey, use a ton of Vicks and bundle up with a good movie........ :)

[lizziegrace]

7. Good ideas.

Thanks everyone. :hug:

See ya later.

8. Bailey's or Kahlua

A little splash of Parrot Bay rum also goes pretty well if you like something sweet

[lizziegrace]

9. Hehe...

thanks. :)

10. Soy creamer by Silk; dairy causes mucous. nt

[flvegan]

11. Svedka.

[704wipes]

12. Halloween Oreos

with the orange filling...

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. Peppermint Schnapps!

but skip the whipped cream this time... :hug:

[Neshanic]

14. For me that Salt water spray stuff works, then I sit in a hot shower.

15. Decided against the alcohol

the Bailey's and Kahlua were $20/bottle. Can't justify that. I got chicken noodle soup, pumpkin coffee mate to satisfy my Starbucks pumpkin spice craving. Can't justify $4 for coffee either.

16. cheap brandy, cheap bourbon

if you decide against the coffee, you have to get a better brand of booze but the cheap stuff is okay in coffee

i like kahlua and baileys but no noticeable effect on my sinus from those products

if you go for no alcohol at all you end up buying "cold medicine" which is a VERY expensive form of shitty alcohol ounce for ounce (read the list of ingredients)

best to my mind is to forget about the coffee altogether, make hot tea, with honey, and lemon (fresh squeezed if you have the energy) plus bourbon, stay home and sleep after drinking the tea

works for me

but the coffee suggests you must work so i'd do a weak coffee and bourbon and avoid operating heavy equipment :-)

get well soon

i run a mile from nyquil and other high-priced garbage but maybe that stuff actually works for somebody somewhere


i think you made a false economy since a tiny bottle of nyquil is $6 (i assume you have to use SOMETHING for your sinus and pumpkin spice creamer won't cut it) and a bottle of cheap old crow that could last you for a year is about the same (in our grocery store anyway)

hope the chicken soup will work but if it doesn't and you must go out to re supply, run the numbers per quantity of product

[lizziegrace]

17. Not operating heavy machinery

I've noticed that hot, steaming drinks (with caffeine) seem to help my asthma and open my sinuses a bit. I forgot a few things last night (brain fog) and have to go back out. I'll look for some brandy or bourbon.

The sudafed takes care of my sinuses. I just wanted to not feel so bad for a while.

:)

19. agreed i've often noticed the same

often instead of the coffee i've done two tea bags instead

get well soon!

18. Green tea and a piece of fresh ginger root would help you

Just cut about a 1/2 inch of the ginger root and leave it in the bottom of the green tea. Trust me, it works! :hi:

Hope you feel better soon. Here's an uplifting song for you:
