Ughh...I'm so congested.
I have such a terrible cold. I'm miserable. This week has been so hard. DS was hospitalized for pneumonia and as a result of the stress, little sleep, crappy food, etc. I came down with a nasty cold. I'm just so exhausted.
I really don't want to take anything for this. Is there anything natural that I can do/use to help me with this congestion? I'd love to be able to breathe through my nose again...

Re: Ughh...I'm so congested.
Net ti Pots, use saline wash and warm distilled water.
Try green tea with honey & lemon too, if anything it soothes the throat and gives you a little energy!
I have been congested for weeks. Today I bought a Hydrasense sea water nasal spray. It's like a suped up saline nasal spray and a step down from the Netipot volume wise. I wish I had of used it easier because my nose has been clear all day now and I can breathe! Otrivin also has one as well - Sea water and aloe spray.
Hope you get some relief soon!
Hello Ladies,
I came down with a cold on Thursday...super congested and my sinuses were so inflamed my head was pounding. I managed to kick this cold in just 3 days. I didnt want to take any over the counter meds although my doc did tell me that some where safe, but I didnt want to risk it. First, I purchased a bottle of Sinus Rinse. It was amazing!!!! Here is the link https://www.neilmed.com/usa/sinusrinse.php you can get it at any pharmacy. I know some may be hesitant, I was at first but desperate to breath. The solution helps with the inflammation and drains all the mucous out. Id rather have it out than draining down my throat. Next, I turned on my Vicks vaporizer machine. It adds humidity to the air and the vicks soothed my cough. I only ran it for a few hours at night to sleep. My doc said it is perfectly safe. Last, drink LOTS of water and slept in Friday, Saturday and today. I still have some residual from the cold, but overall I feel much relief. Hope you feel better!
