I am super congested

edited April 2011 in Health
I can't breathe through my nose what so ever. It is annoying! I've been like this for 4 days now. I can't taste or smell anything. I think its allergies but I'm not sure what to do about it.

  • My Dr said we can take claritan D for that. I've taken it a few times
  • You can takw Tylenol Cold/Allergy. That is what my doctor told me to take.
  • Cool thank you! I can't stand this! I'm definetly gonna go to walgreens and I hope it goes away! <3
  • Try the Neti pot if you can. It's kind of awkward at first but I swear you are able to breathe so well ~30 mins later.
  • What is neti pot? @MomyRN
  • I feel the same way...claritin didn't work, I read mucinex was ok...that didn't work. My list from the Dr said NOT to take tylenol cold medicine. I'm miserable!!
  • It's this little container kinda looks like a tiny teapot, you mix lukewarm water with a saline solution and use it to flush your nasal passages. You use one potfull for each nostril. You tilt your head while pouring the pot contents in one nostril, it will cross over the nasal septum by gravity and drain out the other nostril. You just have to make sure you tilt your head correctly so the salt water doesn't go down your throat instead. Then you repeat on the other side. And obviously, do it over a sink! I know it sounds weird but its been used for ages, its natural and it totally works!
  • I'm in love with the Netipot!
  • I know! It's addictive!
  • Dang all doctors are different. My safe list from doctor says all tylenol meds are safe including the cold medicine. Also Robitussin DM.
