For runny nose, do up garlic soup. If somebody can make it for you, its better but you MUST try this. In a pot 1) saute ground or chopped garlic with olive oil (or any other cooking oil) 2) pour ready made chicken or veggie broth into your sauted garlic You can put any other things inside, carrots, tomatoes. Bottom line any soup but add lots of garlic. I have written this many times. It works great for me and the family. If it works for you, keep the ingredients handy and everytime you have a sniffle, do up the soup. Another of my daughters favoutite 1) cut tomatoes in halves 2) sprinkle some garlic onto each tomato 3) pour a little bit of olive oil on top 4) put sliced or any other cheese on the garlic which is on top of tomato 5) bake for 15 minutes or so in oven or toaster or (I havent tried this though) DELICIOUS! Take care

It's hard. I take medicine, blow my nose, use drops, but even then I can't sleep if it's bad enough. Hope you feel better soon.

My personal doctor has this amazing medicine that he gives me that is capable of drying up a runny nose. But if I wasn't able to get to him because it's the middle of the night, I would put a mentholated oil on a handkerchief and sniff the oil. That would give me some relief and make me able to sleep.

I have difficulties sleeping with runny nose, but i still can sleep especially when i am really very tired and sleepy already. You can try water therapy in the morning since water could somehow help treat colds. And try to lie down in high fowler's position or lie with lots of pillow under your back or head part so you look like sitting already. It helped me, i bet it will work with you as well.

sorry to hear that,I have had such experiences before,it's like a disaster!it's just like if you fall asleep ,you can't simply breathe!for me,there are two ways to lighten this situation,the first one is put one towel soaked in hot water on your nose and have a bathe,the second way is put cola and ginger together,then boil them and drink it,it's useful for curing cold! good luck!
