Drink 2 glasses of orange juice a day, and have someone heat some water and give you a mug of Therma flu anohter Therma forumula. while you're at it, pray- and every time you sneeze, keep saying no. If you can order from someone who sells Watkins Vanilla and other products of that brand, order a liquid medicine they have, that you put it on a hanky. Then put it on one and breath it. The effect will be strong and almost hard to handle at first. Keep doing all of the above.

You may want to try using an allergy medicine that contains sudafed (pseudophedrine), like Alavert D. sudafed is a decongestant, so it should help drain all the mucus from your nose and head. if this isn't working and you aren't finding anything else that will, you should see a doctor as you may have a sinus infection. but no worries, they can fix it :)

You may not have a cold, my friend. You may have allergies. Get an allergy test, to make certain. Because if you have any allergies, which is likely, there are a number of medications to take. If it is a virus of some sort, do all the natural things that you can; take in 1000mg of vitamin C, daily; eat a balanced diet; take a multi-vitamin; keep your feet warm; clean your living space regularly (vacuum, disinfect washrooms and kitchen); exercise; make an effort to rest and sleep enough. If you do this consistently, you should be healthy. Other wise, consult as many physicians as you can until you find a solution.

I would suggest that you avoid any cold drink, oily food and smely places including perfumes. Moreover, avoid moving between places of big difference in temperature. If you have to, like going outside to a cold place, cover your nose and mouth with tissue or Handkerchief and vice versa. Avoid using low quality tissues which thier particles might even worsen your cold. Have a quick recovery

I am a chronic headache person: including sinus headaches; migraines; tension headaches and more, yuck!!!\n\nFirst determine what the headache may be brought on by.  \nIf you are sick, no you should not work out. Do you have other symptoms?\n\nIf you have a sinus infection or cold, tylenol will do nothing for you, but a dose of Non-Drowsy Sudafed might help decongest your sinuses.  \n\nIf you have a migraine, there's not much you can do but stay comfortable and try to keep some of the workplace noise out.\n\nCheck out the below sites that my coworker emailed me to get rid of headaches and to learn more. Hope this helps!\nFeel better sweetie!

You have sinus problems.. very common to have it\n\nYou need to go to a doctor and tell him you have sinusitis, and he'll give you something to relieve the pressure\n\nWhat happens is that normal people have pockets of air behind their nose ( sinuses ) that expand and contract depending on the pressure around you head.. people with sinus problems have those cavities filled with mucus so when they contract because of more outside pressure, it creates pressure inside your head giving you a headache\n\nIf after you visit your doc you still ahve it.. blow your nose reaaaally hard before you go underwater.. this will relieve some of it

There are a few things you can do that you probably already have on hand.  I have difficulty with my sinuses at times as well and no one thing works ALL the time, but I have found that alternating them usually does the trick.  For starters, use a heating pad or a hot pack on your forehead, eyes and nose, (if you use a heating pad, use the LOWEST setting and place a towel over it so as not to burn the face).  Something else you can do is place a bowl of water in the microwave and cook just until boiling, add a tablespoon of Vicks vapo-rub to the water and hang your head over the bowl with a towel draped over your head so as to breathe in all the vapors.  Stand near a hot shower and breathe in the steam for a few minutes.  Hot tea with honey, any flavor will do, but peppermint seems to work best for me.  Try to blow your nose often, never sniffle.  These are just some of the things I do.  Hope that helps.

When to Call a Doctor - If any of the following symptoms of acute sinusitis appear: \n thick yellowish green mucus  nasal discharge \n\nAt the same time, you may try the following self-care remedies:\n\nIt's important to drink lots of water or other fluids--six to eight glasses daily--to loosen impacted mucus. Soup, - good old soul warming chicken soup - tea, or other warm liquids can be especially soothing. \n\nTo help thin mucus, heat water in a pan. Place a towel over your head, lean over the pan of hot water, and inhale the steam. Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the water will enhance this effect. \n\nApply a hot compress (a moistened warm hand towel or wash cloth) to your face. The heat "opens up" sinuses to relieve pressure. \n\nReduce or avoid drinking alcohol; it has a dehydrating effect that can make mucus dry and thick. \n\nA sinus irrigator, which you can purchase in drug stores and health-food stores, can be used to clear out sinuses with saline solution. \n\nAvoid air-borne irritants, especially secondhand smoke, that can inflame sinuses. Use an air purifier in your home, if necessary, to control irritants. If indoor air is dry, which can aggravate sinusitis, use a humidifier. \n\n Quercetin is being used widely for sinus problems. - Get a vitamin C with Quercetin - from a Health store. ( 3x/day - 500 -1000 mg )\nDo not take any chewable Vitamin C - they have extra sugar, and not good for immune system. \n\nThough there have been no major scientific studies conducted to support this theory, some experts believe spicy foods, such as horseradish, Japanese wasabi, garlic, or cayenne pepper, may help clear out congested sinuses.

Take it easy today.. Drink a LOT of liquids.  I would suggest tea with honey.  Green tea is the best if you feel like you are getting sick.  if your sinuses are acting up sit in the shower so that the steam can losen it up (nasty I know but it works)  Stay warm, keep covered up and drink lots.  \n\nHope you feel better.

Could just be some simple sinus drainage into your chest.  You need to go ahead and mention it to your parents.  Simple over the counter meds may give you some relief.  The drainage may cause you to cough while laying down and go away after you are up walking around.  Prop yourself up on a pillow and try not to lay flat.  As we get older our allergies and sinuses are more sensitive.  If the cough is dry, some heated humidification in your room may help.  If you are miserable, steam up the bathroom with a hot shower and sit in there to breathe in some moisture.

First, let me suggest that you invest in a good multi-vitamin to help build up your immune system, and maybe a good Vitamin C.\n\nSecond, buy some Vicks Vapo-Rub.  Use this mostly at night rubbing it ion your chest and around your nostrils.  \n\nThird, I couldn't live without Day-Quil and NyQuil when I have a cold like this.  The NyQuil helps you sleep and makes it easier to breathe, while controlling your cough.  The Dayquil helps you to breathe during the day and controls your cough while helping to keep you awake.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!

There are many reasons your throat could be sore. It may be acid reflux. Taking Pepcid AC "may" alleviate it.\nMaybe you're sleeping under a fan? Try turning it off.\nMaybe the air in your home is too dry & you need to run a humidifier.\nMaybe you have post nasal drip & need to try a sinus med.\nGo buy something called Kefir. It's a drinkable yogurt. 9 X more potent that yogurt, & a hint more tart. It boosts the immune system. You can also try some goldenseal/echinacea.\nGood luck. Hopefully, something will ring a bell...

There is a home remedy that has helped me with sinus problems. It may sound wierd but it worked. Try mixing HONEY and APPLE CIDER VINEGAR 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey add 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of the vinegar. I know it sounds nasty, but it's cheap and it works. You can take it like a cough syrup or mix it in an 8 ounce glass of water (make sure it disolves). You can adjust the measuremnets to make it not so sweet or to make it sweeter.
