I used a whole box of tissues

Keep your ebola away from me.

I think almost the entire solution is in this thread.

Get one of those over the counter steroid sprays, they should help but will take a few days to start working.

(Meaning Nasacort.)

Sudafed and musinex

Also known as "Mucinex-D". Though if pseudoephedrine makes your heart race, get regular Mucinex and phenylephrine instead.

If you have healthy kidneys, try taking 2-3 advil (kidneys) + 2 tylenol (liver).

I've found that advil helps reduce inflamation in my sinuses and allows more to drain.

I haven't found Tylenol useful, but it won't hurt much.

One more pill: an antihistamine. If you want to sleep through the cold, take Benadryl. If you want to be awake, take something like Claritin or Allegra. I also do Astelin, but that is prescription.

Try a neti pot with salt water to clear out the crap.

Make sure you use the tissues with lotion; save your nose!

And apply Neosporin to your nose (the outside only!) to help it heal.

hmmm. i've been dealing with this the last couple of days. do those meds help you get over it quicker or are they just to relieve your symptoms?

I've found that advil helps reduce inflamation in my sinuses and allows more to drain. Usually those things peak after a day and then take a good week to get out of my system.

This is a bad idea.

thread didn't go how i thought it might.

Me neither. Thought he was all tore up over that 47 year old cheerleader post and Kiera Knightly.

I never run out of tissue, but that's probably b/c I use burlap sacks.

Gone through another box plus some out of a new box yesterday. This fucking sucks!
