I have had a damn cold for 3 days now, my throat finally doesnt burn like razors, and I have most of my voice back but one side of my nose is soooooooooooo clogged, I have taken OTC meds, vaporizing rub on my nose and chest, hot tea, hot showers, and nothing is clearing it. Any suggestions?

Try a saline solution or a mix of regular salt and water and stand over the sink or toilet and rinse your nasal cavity. It helps if you have a small teapot or a hair color bottle that has never been used.

I've never used it but a lot of people swear by mucinex. Must be pretty good stuff.

i have been horribly sick, same thing as shagna with the razor blade throat, and mucinex has helped tremendously.

mucinex took away the sore throat and the congestion in my chest but my poor nose is bothering me still.

A few drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl of boiling water, and put a towel over your head, and have a mini sauna.

Shagna-What about going to the doctor? A friend of mine had the same. 2 weeks later it turned into walking pneumonia (sp?).

My favorite cure is homemade chicken soup.

Feel better soon, M
