Shortie8959 answered Saturday December 18 2004, 10:42 pm: Get plenty of rest, drink those fluids, and take Tylenol Cold! Lol. Maybe use Vicks, that'll clear your nose up. Also, Puffs with lotion will make your nose not hurt when you blow it. Just take it easy and stay warm. Hope you feel better!
Hope I helped!

GroverTheStoNer answered Saturday December 18 2004, 2:13 pm: SLEEP! Get tons of sleep! You should also drink Lipton's Tea, and if you have a cough or anything I usually take this medicine called Delsym. You can get it at a drugstore. And since your nose is stuffy ask a parent to run to the drugstore and get breathe-right strips. You put them over your nose and they relive any congestion. Feel better soon! :)

Shopaholic answered Saturday December 18 2004, 1:31 pm: I have had the same thing for awhile. I missed school Wendsday because of it. If you take advil and just rest until Monday (or Tuesday) you will most likley be ok to go out and be with friends and stuff like that. Drink alot of liquids and nose spray! Feel Better!
I'm here to help.

sunkistsarah answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:45 am: you could put vasaline or lotion on your nose for that because i have had that before...its like raw from blowing it so much...anyway if you really want to gt better, you could go see the doctor (if they work on weekends) and if not then just get lots of rest and drink juice....hope this helps some...and make sure you stay inside as much as possible...

Berri answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:12 am: Oh man that sucks. Orange juice really does help, except you have to drink it with all the nasty pulp stuff in it cuz' all the vitamins that will make you better are in the pulp. Also try to sleep and rest as much as possible, so take a medicine that will knock you out! lol And for your nose, you can either put Vaseline under it to make that raw, stingy feeling from blowing it go away, or you can blow your nose really well and then put Vick's Vapo Rub under it. That'll keep your nose from running, so you won't have to blow it and make it raw! Hope I helped, and get well soon!!! -Berri [ Berri's advice column | Ask Berri A Question ]
xObritterzOx answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:07 am: SLeep is the best thing for you! and rest!!!! you can put a hot rag on your nose that helps clear it!!! wear sweats and a sweat shirt and lay in bed and sweat it out!! keep taking medicence so your not fighting the cold with no medicence!

pinayprodigy answered Saturday December 18 2004, 7:30 am: I take the same things so, they work fine.with the nose if it's scratchy from blowing it then but lotion or any body cream that'll help.if it's runny then tissues are all you got and if they're congested take nasal spray.Hope it works!!!!Merry Christmas!!
TaTjEnJaMeS answered Saturday December 18 2004, 3:26 am: HAHA WOW SMALL WORLD!! I have the same thing right now. Um.. take one main medicine.. something stronger than Motrin or something.. I think the cough drops are temporary for making you not cough. [ TaTjEnJaMeS's advice column | Ask TaTjEnJaMeS A Question ]
takingfive answered Saturday December 18 2004, 1:43 am: If there is something you need to be ready for for Monday, get a lot of rest this weekend and take 2 dayquil on any days that you need to be semi-coherent. Make sure you take them around 2 hours before you need to be at your "peak", ie. before an exam or something, because I find that after the effect of the dayquil wears off, I feel worse than I did before I even took it. You feel really good while it's working, though. [ takingfive's advice column | Ask takingfive A Question ]
theblondeone989 answered Saturday December 18 2004, 1:40 am: LOTS AND LOTS OF SLEEP. I find that no amount of medicine can replace rest. Give your body time, and you will get better. To relieve some of the symptoms until them, there are obviously several cold medicines out there. I usually take Dayquil (or Nightquil). Hope you feel better =) [ theblondeone989's advice column | Ask theblondeone989 A Question ]
