Question:
I am 14 and I just went to summer camp for 2 weeks. At the camp alot of people had colds and my best friend at camp did too. Sience yesterday afternoon my nose has been stuffy and sometimes runny. My throat kind of hurts and I also seem to be losing my voice a little. My ear has also been slightly hurting and I got a headache a few times. I also cant really smell or taste unless I blow my nose really hard or sniffle really hard. I also took my allergy medicine that I take when my allergies are bugging me and it didn't really help. My cat also slept on my bed last night but I'm pretty posative that that has nothing to do with it because I'm not allergic to cats. I know that because my cat sleeps on my bed every night and I almost always have no problems . I also have volleyball tryouts tomorow so I have to be as good as new, or close to it
Answers:
if your allergy meds didn't work, then you have a cold. take some sudafed to clear your congestion; drink PLENTY of water, and even orange juice, or take vitamin c. if your throat is hurting, eat chicken noodle soup and drink some Thera Flu, as it will soothe your throat. try to take it easy and get lots of rest. feel better soon!
p.s. if your tryouts mean that much to you, try to do all you can and get tons of rest tonight so you can feel at least a little better by tomorrow, then take it easy and get on the road to recovery
Id take a benedryl tonight, cleratin before the game
If it is a cold or allergies, both of those will help.
Drink lotsa water before the game and dont strain urself tonight :D
Its allergies. Whenever I get allergies I always have ear aches and a runny nose. If you had a cold, it always starts with a sore throat and progresses to a stuffy nose and a persistant cough. Then you start to produce excessive amounts of phlem. Take some allergy medicine before it gets any worse. Not cold medicine.
