    Default PLEASE HELP! I need a remedy for a runny nose due to COLD

    OMG it's really bad... my nose is about to fall off. Does anyone know any remedies medecines? I know for sure it's due to cold. It's accompanied by very watery eyes and cough. I don't need antihistamine (because I read thats for allergies)... so what do I take?

    I know I can go to the doctor but I want to do something about this right this second! egghhhh I'm miserable!

    Jenna, thank you so much! Do I just eat it? Put it around the nostrils?

    oftentimes it comes in tablets and you can take it.

    get a neti pot!

    that's a really bizarre picture, and i know it sounds kindof insane, but that shit works wonders.

    Although antihistamines are for allergies they also work to stop a drippy nose and lear your airways when you have a cold. Try to buy something from the pharmacy with Paracetamol, phenylephrine and caffeine in one pill too (caffeine is brilliant for colds so drink some good strong coffee, although not so much at bedtime, obviously).

    Oh boy... if you read online on those self-help med. sites it says to avoid caffeine at all costs because it only enhances dehydration! I already took something with paracetamol, that's for sure, just don't remember what it was! lol

    P.S. my best friend is a pharmacist and she said just drink plenty of fluids (green tea with honey and cayenne pepper, or warm lemon water) because there's really nothing that can relieve a runny nose.... eghhh

    I do feel a little better now though..

    Yeah, it sounds like you have a mucus problem. I believe they have over the counter medicine for that?

    pseudaphed is the only thing that works for me.

    When you take a shower cup your hand under your nose and let the water in an trickle down your throat. I do this sometimes and that washes the allergens out. Like a neti pot.

    You wannt to keep your nose draining so it doesnt stuff up and infect your sinuses. your druggist will know a lot about whats on the shelves. That's what they study.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    Pseudoephedrin works for some people, and yet it doesnt for others; what an allergy pill does is to help keep the draining going on. No pill is going to stop the virus infection. You might find some meds infused in a warm steam aerosol applied to the nose will help. Can't remember that product's name.
