Who has the sniffles? a cold? the flu?

Mine tended to go to my chest and stay there a while but have you tried Olbas Oil to clear your nose and head? It's Eucalyptus based. I also took a strong flue remedy, with red berries, which might help. Mine was Beecham's but I don't know what brands are available to you. Brightest Blessings and please do get better soon. x

Hi Darkwing, I have not heard of Olbas Oil. I wonder if they sell it here!! thanks for that :)

Oh that had to be horrible having two viruses back to back. I'm glad you were able to recover from that Darkwing. I went to bed a little earlier than normal and do feel slightly better but still clogged up. Thanks for responding.

There are so many medicines to choose from and I'm not even sure whether they work either. I would rather just have a hot steamed bath with vicks and or have my husband rub vicks on my back and chest at night. Even have a lemon drink or something. He has had a nasty cough and refuses to see a doctor. I think that would be the only time I would see one if my cold got really bad. Thanks for responding lilybug!

I don't like ear infections either - they really hurt for me!

I went for a sinus infection and an ear infection back in November. I was miserable.

I hope your able to have that tooth attended to or something to take for it as they can become very painful. Take care of yourself Raijin!

I hope you're able to have that tooth attended to or something to take as tooth aches can be very painful. Take care raijin.

bwahaha you sure it was me you were talking to? nah i do remember you telling me to get it but umm yeah i never got around to it. I know I should of for my son too. My husband was told at his first diabetes clinic to get one EVERY YEAR LOL I wonder if its too late now? :):):)

I believe that you should still be able to get one at this point. This is still Flu season.

haha I like your picture ctry. I know my husband was told that he needs to take a flu shot every year now that he has diabetes, and I also need to ask my sons doctor about taking one too since he was diagnosed recently of having a slight case of asthma. I wonder if they do really work? Thanks for the response even though the weather is not too great where you are :)

It is interesting that your doctor would tell you not to get a Flu shot when you have Asthma. My doctor says that I should make sure I get one every year BECAUSE I have asthma. A few years ago, there was a shortage of Flu shots and my doctor didn't get any. The city of Los Angeles were only giving them out to people who had to have them. I went down to a free clinic where they had them and I had to prove that I had asthma before they would give me the shot. If you do some research online you will find that it is highly reccommended that people with respiratory illnesses get a flu shot every year. Asthma with a cold or the flu can be life threatening. But, then on the other hand, everyones ASthma is different. If I were you I would ask my doctor why he thinks you don't need one. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you cupid, I am feeling a little better today but still a bit clogged up.

thats better, it will take 4-7 days a normal circle c ya

Thats a long time for a virus to hang around. I hope my sniffles don't get worse. Thanks for your comment.

I hope you and your husband are feeling a lot better TerryZ. I've missed you on mylot!!!

Oh I hate getting those achy-body flu's, takes me a while to get over those. Lucky you you've recovered :)

Awwwww no I had not realised your hubby and Niamh have had it for that long of a period. It does come and go especially during the winter time. As soon as you think the worst is over, back comes the sniffles. I hope they get better soon. Thanks mummymo!!

Hope you're feeling better warmweatherwoman :) I ended up taking Tylenol too and that helped somewhat but my runny nose wouldn't go away. I think it lasted at least a couple of days. It wasn't as bad as yours though with the sweats and all.

Awwwww sorry to hear that shymurl. My left eye is watery too and not sure why its only the left lol. I hope you and your family get better soon.
