Right now it is just chest congestion and rumbly cough. Also, being VERY tired. And slightly dizzy. I’ve heard of the Neti Pots. It sounds painful. BUT I may check into it for taking it overseas. It may be the only thing available. Right now I’m keeping a hot pad on my chest/back. That seems to help.
No fever.
Jem, I’ve been thinking of your illness. I think, dear heart, you should see a Dr. If you decide to fly with this stuff, you can be in for some bad hurt. Please, if you have this on the day you are supposed to depart, don’t. You may have some liquid inside your ears if you’re dizzy. Self medication is fine sometimes, but you’ve had a lot of symptoms that add up to more than a cold.
Jemian, I had that the week before Christmas. It’s the sickest I have been in years.
Take all available remedies...Zycam, orange juice, water, tea with honey and lemon. I also took Coricidin for coughs and congestion (safe for those with high BP) and slept about 12 hours a day for 3 days.
Get well!
