Time. Fluids. Rest. Decongestants can help some with the stuffy symptoms but aren't a remedy.

Try Zicam. It's over the counter.

This works for me. Better to take it early…and often…every three hours. I’m a believer.

Yes, good reminder. I have the sqeeze bottle at home but can go buy another one here. Does help.

Flonase 2 sprays daily, Neti Pot. Nothing will make it better faster, but

Another think I find helpful if my lungs are OK is running. It honestly clears

Why is everyone so anti zpak? Helps me in like 24 hours instead of suffering

Ask your doc 3 questions next time you get a z pack.

They aren't, for actual infections, but antibiotics not warranted for viral cold

seacougar

11/30/22 4:01pm

I hate them because they are used like this, and there is nothing that a z pack

cougaman

11/30/22 4:04pm

Well, I'm alergic so we'll save that debate for another time. Most likely just viral.

I like to use Mucinex DM, because it makes the junk in my lungs and sinuses more liquidy, which means it
