I have been sick since sturday at 1:00 in the morning. I woke up with a sore throat and my ears hurting so bad. So i went to the doctors monday morning and was prescribed some medicine and they told me i also have an ear infection. The doctor only prescribed one medicine and my ear isnt hurting as bad but i still have a runny nose and really bad yellow flem (yeah i know disgusting). What do you take for your nose to stop running? Its really bugging me and i dont want to end up with a red nose. Also what do you do while you are sick? DO you sleep alot, lay down and watch tv or movies? I cant stand to stay home, but ive been trying to do things around the house. I have already swept the back patio and now ill probably do laundry or sweep the tile floor.

I can feel your problem. Now it would be difficult for us to prescribe things. Still there is a tablet that I use when I have this running nose. You can put some menthol is a half glass full of lukewarm water and inhale it. The gas should relieve you a lot.
It is better for you to consult a doc. and take medicine accordingly. Wishing you quick recovery.

It's been a long time since I was REALLY sick, but I feel your pain!!
As soon as I feel it coming on I find whatever gargle I have. Listerine, or even just plain water with salt in it. Keep that going gargling every two hours. Also get plenty of Vita-C (of, course I recommend keeping Shaklee Vitamins in the house) of course I would say that!! In a pinch Wal-K- mart vitamins will do. Use Ecchinacea ( ek-in-a-sha ) to boost your immune system drink water and anything wet in the house and get a s much rest as you can.
