So congested (me) - what meds really work??

I am so congested... I feel like my head could explode.  I feel perfect otherwise... 

dd is down for a nap, but once she wakes, we're off to CVS for some meds. What do you find that really works for you?

tia!

ps- this "server is busy" is driving me nuts. I never, ever have time to "bump" and now that I do, I'm getting "sever is busy" every 5 seconds.

    I only seem to have luck w/Tylenol Cold products.

    We all had really bad colds here for almost 3 weeks but DH was taking Mucinex and his went away quick. I thought i'd try one out and I felt totally drunk. I couldn't drive or do anything, I was that messed up (it's 1 tablet and lasts 12 hours). I totally passed out cold that night in bed. So I dont rec Mucinex!

    I have found the best thing for me is using a nettie pot.  It's also pure entertainment when the water shoots out the other side of your nose too.  It works really well!

     

    Other than that- if its a sinus headache I take tylenol cold and sinus.  Or Sinutab.

    Regular mucinex to get the gunk moving, and believe it or not, orange triamentic syrup for the runny aftermath

    Dayquil!  It always works for us.

    Get something with pseudoephedrine in it. It's the only thing that *truly* works for congestion.

    I don't know if it's like this in every state, but at the pharmacies here, anything with pseudoephedrine in it is behind the pharmacy counter. 

    I like privacy. A lot.

    I know I'm to late to help this time, but I love Afrin nasal spray.  Works great and doesn't make me feel spacey.
