THANKS!! 4|1|Is it still head congestion or just chest congestion?|Abbicca|Abbicca@insightbb.com|15:42:50|01/21/2012|
I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and the combo of antibiotics/Flonase/ and prescription cough syrup took care of the worst of it. However, I still have lingering chest congestion stuck in my lungs. If THAT is your problem as well...have someone cup their hands and 'beat' on your back with them to break it up so you can cough it out. We're still working on mine...but my husband can't cup his hands worth a pattootie! LOL

Thanks 7|2|Rest|fbutte|fyb33@yahoo.com|16:37:47|01/22/2012|
It's hard, but rest and sleep is the best cure. Avoid junk food. Do not keep your house too warm, wear sweaters. The first cold, then hot is not good for you.
Also best thing for you headaches: GINGER. not powder, only fresh. Make a tea from it cut about one inch for 3-4 cups. Bring to a boil simmer for about 5 minutw, flavor with tea, sugar, l;emon, or whataver to taste. Drink hot, hits the blood faster. Refrig left over with the ginger and heat whenever needed. Also very good for inflammations. Proven to reduce pain. 8|3|I guess you might be right I am so tired like i cant get.....|melpaul|Melpaul199@aol.com|17:32:47|01/22/2012|
enough sleep I will try that ginger someone at work told me the same thing for my asthma
thanks

I went to doctor last week and was diagnosed with sinus infection. I've been coughing so much now my stomach and chest are hurting. It was costly to go to doctor first time, because I'm self pay. If I'm not better by end of week I'll call her to see what else we can do. She gave me antibiotic to rid the infection and pills for the coughing. I find rubbing Vicks on myself at night, helps with the coughing. So does Nyquil to sleep. 10|1|I can sympathize w/you all.....|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|09:56:19|01/24/2012|
I'm still dealing w/flare ups off & on of the cruddy stuff here. I know it's my tonsils cuz everytime I check in my throat w/a flashlight, there are small white spots in there. Also get sore throat, half plugged ears, more phlegm, half stiff neck & feel feverish during the flare ups. All classic symptoms of tonsillitis for me. :( Got a round of Zithromax before Christmas & altho it took a few days to kick in, I felt really good for about a month. But the Zithromax either wasn't strong enough to knock it completely out or I got it back again. Some days I feel fine, like yesterday, so it's not every day. Then again it can hit & last 2-3 days. It's like history repeating itself cuz I battled tonsillitis alot as a kid for a period of time. Same exact scenario except I'm not getting the severe sore throat I did then & it's not every day.
But trying to get another round of antibiotics doesn't look promising. :( When I had it as a kid, I think I had to live on Erythromycin for most of my 5th grade year. But after that, I never had a problem again til almost 30 yrs. later.
I take Vit. D3 & Calcium daily anyway, & have also been taking Vit. C. Maybe that's what's keeping it from a major flare up like before. I don't know. But I read somewhere that raw garlic has natural antibacterial properties to help fight off infections so a few days ago, I started dosing myself up w/chopped, raw garlic. Figured what do I have to lose (hopefully not my friends. LOL) cuz at the very least, it'll keep vampires away. LOL I may not smell the greatest but I'll hopefully feel better. ;)
I hope you all feel better soon too! :)
Smile... it makes people wonder what you're up to!

11|2|Sore throats|fbutte|fyb33@yahoo.com|19:08:50|01/24/2012|
Ther are several types. Before it gets down to your chest, one type is your throat feels like somethiong is there blocking it. And the other, your throat fells itchy, ticles.
My treatment: on the first take vitamin E, don.t overdo it, or it will become the second type of coughing. Take small amounts, stop as soon as you get better. Eat fresh foods and vegetables.
On the second type eat junk food, fries, cut down fruits, especially pears, again stop when sysmtoms are gone.
Watch your symtoms. Vitamin C is good only because most people do not eat enough fresh stuff. Canned things are not good for you, helps to promote first type of sore throat.
KNOCK ON WOOD, BUT BY self monitoing, I catch them before they develope into full coughing. Have not had any for years.
3000IEU of Vitamin C is too much, but Vitamin C is fairly harmless, your body rejects extras.
One doctor said 3000IEU is what you get from a bushel of rose hops(one of the highest vit C producer), It that what nature intented?
I bleive in balance too much of anything is not good for you. 12|3|I started taking Fish Oil caps 2 years ago, 1000mg twice a day|pattyo|pattyolc@aol.com|06:23:19|01/25/2012|
I have NOT had a sore throat, sickenss, cold, flu at ALL since January 2010. It must do something so once you are over this dragged on sickness (just like I used to get) start on these pills and take them at least twice a day with a meal..I do it morning and night. See if it works for you. I don't do anything special..I don't take vitamins and really don't take care of myself like I should to avoid them but so far, its working for me..
Hope you feel better soon. You will but it drains you when it takes forever. :(
