So far I've taken (not all at once, mind you): Afrin nasal spray - good stuff, but not getting the job done this time. Motrin Sinus Headache - gets rid of the headache but dried up my nose something fierce, got a big fat nose bleed at lunch Tylenol Cold Head Congestion Severe - gives me crazy medicine head, doesn't really work though. Anyone else have a good cold remedy? Good old fashioned Sudafed doesn't really do much for me. Advil Cold & Sinus is pretty good but on my last trip to the store, I couldn't find any on the shelf.

My mom had some lady tell her about "nasal washes" one time, so I gave it a shot and it works great. What you do is fill up a cup or something with water and some salt (not too much or you could burn out your nose) then take a seringe (without the needle of course) and squirt the salt water up your nose. Then just blow your nose. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Anyway they do say that it's important to take vitamins when you sick. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Recommendations? not after I have one. but have not had one in a long time that amounted to anything. because I use the Zinc nasal spray if I think I might be heading into a cold. You have to use it right away, if you wait it will be too late, the virus is vulnerable to the Zinc only in the early stages. It is call something with a Z, let me look. Zicam nasel gel. Look for the one with the Zinc in it. If I feel a sore throat in the morning I will use it immediately, even when i don't know if it is a cold coming. If you get to it early enough you can pass on it nearly totally. I used to have several bad ones a year, hated that. Never have them anymore. Won't help you now, but next time...

Actually I should do that anyway, it is a Yoga cleansing routine. edit: the easy way is to just hold one nostral shut and suck it up directly with the other one tough your nose and spit it out. use warm water in a cup with some salt in it. put enough salt in so it does not burn, just water will make your nose hurt doing it. a lot of yucky stuff comes out. but it really makes you feel good, you guys should try it. thanks for reminding me. real Yogis pull cloth though it, but I will leave that for the real Yogis. evidently i don't know how to spell nostral, but I am too lazy to look it up right now.

There is actulally a better way by using a neti pot (I just use a funnel and a gatorade bottle because I'm too cheap. ). Here a link to a walkthrough. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Cean-Your-Sinuses/. P.S. Experament with how you head is tilted, usally the first time thing don't work out too good. P.P.S.

Of course sauna can be dangerous if you have a lot of body temperature, but if you feel sick without the temperature I recommend it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
