I have been having this runny nose and sneezing episodes since the cold climate came back. Last night I was sneezing incessantly but good thing I was wearing face mask and bouffant cap during our duty.
This morning I have a slight fever, body pains and continuous sneezing and runny nose. It is a watery nasal discharge but it keeps on running. Hahaha!
So I am taking this no-drowse decongestant so I can have my duty later.
Do you take decongestants immediately when you have a runny nose? I do,aside from taking liberal amounts of water.

I hope that runny nose of yours will not run anymore.

@hereandthere One after breakfast and one after dinner. Actually, my father's alternative doctor who treated his prostate cancer before, said that one can take as much as 2000 mg ascorbic acid. But that's how much your stomach can take. If you will have lbm then lower it.
My father when he was being treated was made to take 2000 mg of it.

1000 mg a day? how do you take it? one in the morning, one at night? or 1000 at once?

yes, taking decongestants has adverse effects especially to those with glaucoma. decongestants can dilate blood vessels.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who notice the recent cold specially this morning. Not to mention my nose is itching. No, I don't want to get cold. Time to buy some calamansi.

the cold climate will continue until this month as what the weather bureau announces, but i hope the transition from cold to hot will not be abrupt so our bodies will be able to adjust slowly.

maybe when the rainy season comes, it will be another bouts of cough, colds, nasal congestion,and flu-like symptoms.

@ridingbet oh my, yes, that is true for us. But me, I need to prevent it otherwise it will be a long bout of asthma attack and I can not afford those because no one will do what I do but only me.

@rakski yes, and having an asthma attack in summer is kind-of weird but it happens.

@ridingbet It looks awful in your photo. That's hilarious! We probably have more Chinese here and we don't celebrate it.

Whenever I have a cold that leads to fever and cough, I only take Bioflu as medication. It's effective for me.

@renicemae it is a decongestant. it is similar to Sinutab and Neozep.

@ridingbet Is Decolgen for colds only? I haven't tried taking it ever since.

I take decolgen too. It really stops the runny nose and sneezing but it gives me stuffy nose that I can't breathe through my nose

why? i think decolgen is a decongestant, so the result should be your airways should be unclogged. neozep is also another decongestant that is prescribed by my cardiologist, and these should be non-drowse.
