Help getting over this?

March 18th, 2010
  • I have been sick for a week. I have a headache, VERY stuffed nose and now i am coughing up yucky tasting phlem. In the past week I have taken benedryl, Nyquil, Sudafed, tylenol to try and get better but none of them have worked at all. I can deal with the coughing but I hate having a stuffed up nose. it's so annoying. plus I just started a new job last night as a cna at a nursing home and I work the over night shift and it is very hard staying awake that late at night when you feel so awful! Does anyone know any quick home remedies or anything that would help me out? Oh and I don't have insurance yet until 3 months working at the job so going to the drs is not an option. Thanks :)


  • Try inhaling eucalyptus oil in hot water with a towel over your head. That will clear your sinuses. Vicks will do the same trick. If your nose runs, that's such a relief! Also, gargle with salt water to clear out the passages of the gunk. Saves a lot of coughing if you gargle.

    You probably have infected sinuses and might have to inhale for quite a while but it does eventually clear up. Hope you dont smoke, that's no help!


  • there's this stuff it's like a cream that you can rub a little bit of under your nose and makes your breathing better.. my mum always gives that to me when i'm sick.. im not sure what it's called though.. but it smells very minty sort of if that helps. oh and try sleeping with two pillows cause when your head is up higher it sometimes helps the stuffy nose thing.


  • join haft of american honey, there's so many flu virus flying around. soap Tylenol heating pad, Vick's under nose and chest. call in for a sick day kid because people don't want it at work.
