time and rest.
get somekind of medicine
Wait 7 days that is the only real way.
You can put your head over boiling water to help relieve some pain, you can also take over the counter med's but the only way to get rid of a cold is wait iti out, everything else just masks the condition.
If I knew that, I'd be a millionaire!
Nurse it with some home made hot chicken soup and lots of
fluids....Hope you feel better soon!
Chicken soup
I know it sound gross but they pump chickens with antibiotics
also the hot will help the sinus's
I drink hot tea and put one of these zinc tablets in it.
A good old fashioned hot toddy would do the trick.
So would eating an onion but wouldn't like ya chances of getting a snog for a few days or getting off the loo for that matter, but it does work.
Nearly any kind of Tylenol severe cold pill should help. They always did the best for me...And boy I feel sorry for you, I get colds a lot and I sure hate getting them in the summer. Eat lots of soup, I know it's probably just a myth, but it always seems to make me heal faster. Get well soon.
Have you tried a guillotine? That should certainly do it.
Take vitamin C and drink lots of citrus. It can be grapefruit or orange juice. Even Sunny Delight will work. Also, if you can stand it, drink hot liquids like tea or tomato soup.
Well I always have a problem with colds and drainage of my sinus' when I get a cold so I go to the doctor as soon as I am feeling sick
I especially want to catch it before it moves to my chest.
so that I don't have to fight it for weeks.
Rub yourself down in Vick' vapor Rub! Put a pot of boiling "SEA SALT" water on the stove, hold your head over it [not to get burned] just to absorb the steam. When the congestion is loosened and it will be, blow your nose! Eat lot's of chicken noodle soup, and drink lot's of hot tea with lemon and honey! Try to stay under the cover's and sweat out the cold ! Rest and keep you head elevated. If it doesn't clear up in four to seven days see a MD[doctor], it could be a sinus infection!
Chicken soup. It's an age old remedy, but proven to have some effect. Drink it out of a mug instead of eating it with a spoon. The vapors (hot steam) will help to clear your sinuses that way. Also, anything with garlic helps. It's a natural antibiotic. And, although colds are caused by viruses, it can help boost your immune system. Other than that, the standards... rest, LOTS of fluid (nothing with caffeine) and some extra vitamin C to help your body fight off the little buggers. Feel better!
This may not seem like the funest idea of gettin' rid of a cold or a sinus problem, but I promise it will help get rid of one a lot faster, and it really does work.
The benefits of rinsing the nose with salt water:
1.) when you rinse the nose with this salt water and baking soda mixture, you wash crusts and other debris from the nose.
2.)Salty water pulls fluids out of swollen tissue, which decongests the nose and improves air flow. This make breathing easier and helps open the sinus passages.
3.)This salt water and baking soda mixture helps the nose membranes move mucus faster.
The recipe for the salt water & baking soda mixture:
1.) Carefully clean a 1-quart glass jar. Rinse well.
2.) Fill the clean jar with tap water or bottle water. You do not need to boil the water.
3.) Add 1-3teaspoons of pickling or canning salt. DO NOT USE TABLE SALT. Table salt has additives you don't want in your nose rinse. You can ask for pickling salt at the grocery store.
4.)Add 1 rounded teasoon of baking soda (pure bicarbonate).
5.) Stir or shake before each use.
6.) Store at room temperatue.
7.) After a week, pour out any mixture that is left and make a new batch.
NOTE: if the mixture seems TOO STRONG, use the same amount of baking soda but less salt; try 1½ to 2 teaspoons of salt. For children, START with the smaller amount of salt. Gradually increase to 2 to 3 teaspoons of salt, or whatever your child will accept.
How to rinse the nose:
Make the salt water and baking soda mixture according to the recipe on the front of this sheet. Rinse your nose 2-3times a day. You may wish to use a bulb or ear syringe, a large medical syring (30cc), or a Water Pik.
Instuctions:
1.) Pour some of the mixture into a clean bowl. Many people like to warm it to baout body temperature in a microwave oven. Be sure it is NOT HOT.
2.) Fill the syringe or Water Pik with the mixture from the bowl. DO NOT put your used syringe into the jar with your mixture because it will contaminate your weekly supply.
3.) Stand over the sink or in the shower. Squirt the mixture into each side of your nose. Aim the stream toward the back of your head, NOT the top of your head. This lets you spit out some of the salt water. Swallowing a little won't hurt you.
NOTE: Most people notice a mild burning feeling the first few times they use the mixture. This feeling usually goes away in a few days.
For Young Children:
1.) You can put the mixture in a small spray container, like a saline spray or nasal steroid spray bottle.
2.) Squirt into each side of the nose several times.
3.)Do not force your child to lie down. Rinsing the nose is easier when sitting or standing.
If you use a nasal steroid spray such as Flonase, Vancenase, Beconase or Nasacort:
Always use the salt water mixture first, then use your nasal steroid spray. The steroid reaches deeper into the nose and sinuses when it is sprayed onto clean, decongested nasal tissues.
I hope most of ya'll feel better soon!
