is it normal to get a cold in the summer? because i think i have one i have a really soar throat and my nose is sooo stuffy! also what can i do to help get my nose unstuffed?
xxblue0eyesxx answered Sunday July 17 2005, 11:26 pm: Its completely normal to get a cold in the summer. Its happened to me before. Listerine Strips helped unstuff my nose. If you stay couped up on the couch all day with a blanket and hot chocolate, then you will feel worse. Pretend youre not stuffed up or have a sore throat and normally go about your day. Youll feel better in a few days. Good luck!

HEARTXBREAKER answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 5:24 pm: Yes it is normal. I get colds all the time. For your sore throat, drink broth, and you might want to get some medicine for it. And for you stuffy nose, blow it a LOT, and don't cry, because that makes it worse, and when I get a stuffy nose I use nasal spray lmao. But it works. You stick it in your nose and squirt, and it unclogs your nose. You can get it at wal mart!
MissBeautiful678 answered Monday July 11 2005, 4:55 pm: did you no that you dont get a cold from being cold? thats true getting a cold is like a bug that just goes around and basically everyone catches it. Its perfectically normal to get a cold in the summer. Or maybe its not a cold .. maybe your allergect to something but you just havent found out what yet? To get your nose unstuffed, you should probably try medicine if you arleady havent. [ MissBeautiful678's advice column | Ask MissBeautiful678 A Question ]
ddrplaya08 answered Monday July 11 2005, 12:23 pm: I think it is possible to get a cold, but i'd guess that you have allergies :( You can try allergy medicine or other medicines directed towards a sore throat and stuffy nose. Hope you feel better! [ ddrplaya08's advice column | Ask ddrplaya08 A Question ]
gabbygoo102 answered Monday July 11 2005, 10:32 am: Wow you are a moron. oh my god.. you can get colds all year round! just from the stuff in your body. go do something else instead of embarrassing yourself on here like a fricken moron! [ gabbygoo102's advice column | Ask gabbygoo102 A Question ]
foreverXurz43 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 11:44 pm: im not sure if its normal to get a cold in the summer..perhaps you have allergies? or strep throat? you could try taking medicine for stuffy nose and sore throat that you could find at a drug store. if your "cold" gets worse you should see a doctor. Hope ii HelPed!!
VixenDark answered Sunday July 10 2005, 9:10 pm: You can get colds all year.
But in this case it sounds like allergies.
To help:
Get some decongestants.
If you don't like taking medicine, try steam. It will help with the stuffy nose. And teas with honey and/or lemon work wonders on a sore throat. If you don't like tea, the honey and lemon alone will help. [ VixenDark's advice column | Ask VixenDark A Question ]
IndieKidsCanRock answered Sunday July 10 2005, 7:50 pm: ♥You can get a cold during any season, any place, anytime, any country. You can get a "cold" even when it's hot out. I don't have a clue why it's called a cold. Have your parents/guardian take you to see a doctor and ask for a nasal spray. Nasal sprays will help your nose to be not so stuffy, a good brand is RhinoCort. Also, drink plenty of hot green tea with honey drizzled over top. It's good, and it will help your sinuses get cleaed. Hungry? Go for Mexican style food tonight, the heat of the Chile peppers will un-clog your nose. Be sure to always have tissues on hand. Feel better!

poetqueen answered Sunday July 10 2005, 7:36 pm: alot of people do its perfectly normal go to ur local drug store and look for some antibiotics for your nose or ask someone like a friend for a good brand that helped them. hope i helped! [ poetqueen's advice column | Ask poetqueen A Question ]
Sarah2169 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 6:42 pm: yeah i think it is normal to get a cold in the summer because of allergies and the pollen from the trees...take some medicine to get rid of the stuffy nose. go to the doctor too and see if you can get a free allergie test. [ Sarah2169's advice column | Ask Sarah2169 A Question ]
twistedsister17 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 6:14 pm: It could be allergies because tons of flowers and trees blossom in the summer. I know I have them. Try using Triaminic Orange Liquid or chews (found at drug stores like Wegmans) These always help me. Drink lots of water!! That will make your nose unstuff and before you go to bed, put Vicks VapoRub (available at wegmans & drugstores) on your chest and a dot on the tip od your nose. This always seems to help me. And having the air conditioning on is better for your stuffy nose than the windows open because by having the windows open, more pollen can come into your house. Make sure you air conditioning filter is clean though. If you don't have air conditioning, try putting a fan in your room. All these might help, but if it gets REALLY bad, then go see your doctor because he might have a prescription allergy medicine for you. Hope I helped!

IsabelToTheRescue answered Sunday July 10 2005, 4:37 pm: It might be allergies. A lot of people get allergies during the summer. Go to a local drug store and get OTC allergy medicine or to your doctor and get perscription allergy medicine - (Assuming you have allergies!)
CheerChick69 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 4:14 pm: Allergies darling lol! I use to get that all time time! Go toi RightAid and Get "Bee Pollon" take one or two evreyday and in a couple days you will see results, ps my dads friend took it after having horirble allergies all his life and a week later he didnt have any! [ CheerChick69's advice column | Ask CheerChick69 A Question ]
X_Amanda_X answered Sunday July 10 2005, 3:55 pm: It may just be allergies. As for the sore throat, just take some meds and it should make it better =D

sarcasticgal1221 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 2:45 pm: You may have allergies. Try taking Benadryl or Sudafed for a few days and see if you feel any better. If you do, you can, go to a doctor and ger perscription medication.
Hot tea will probably make you feel better as well. [ sarcasticgal1221's advice column | Ask sarcasticgal1221 A Question ]

xOlUvChAdoX answered Sunday July 10 2005, 2:34 pm: YES!!! you can get a cold in the summer. my friends mom just recently had one.. you can get sick no matter what it is like outside.!!
azngemini answered Sunday July 10 2005, 2:16 pm: i've never heard of anyone getting a cold in the summer before, but I guess that it's possible. you can get a cold like if you stood in the rain for too long.. or something like that.. and maybe you dont really have a cold. it could be possible that you're allergic to pollen. if you do have a cold, it doesnt mean that there's something wrong with you. it's kind of weird to get a cold in warm weather, but it's possible [ azngemini's advice column | Ask azngemini A Question ]
*ashlee* answered Sunday July 10 2005, 2:08 pm: GAH! i get a cold every summer, like the last few days of school, or right when school lets out. i dont know why, but just drink a lot of water and keep tissues around. just have your mom take you to your local walgreens or cvs (a pharmacy) and ask someone there what you can take for a stuffy nose. theres plenty of over the counter pills/liquids, but ask your mom for sure, ill bet shes got something in the medicine cabinet to fix you up. i hope you feel better.

cicci answered Sunday July 10 2005, 2:06 pm: A cold isn't actually anything to do with the weather, it's just a virus that happens to live most happily in colder places, but it's more than possible for you to get infected in any weather. The best thing for a stuffy nose, I find, is to put a couple of drops of vic in a bowl full of steamy water, place a towel around you forehead so it hangs over your eyes and the back of the bowl, and then breathe in the steam.
You might not actually have a cold, it could be an allergy, in which case take an allergy tablet (I find that Benadryl or Clarityn are the most effective). Hope I helped! [ cicci's advice column | Ask cicci A Question ]
devil9221 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 1:39 pm: It is possible to get a cold in the summer. Or you might have allergys. To get your nose unclogged use nose drops or pills. I hope I helped! [ devil9221's advice column | Ask devil9221 A Question ]
Mami0s0xclusivex3 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 1:38 pm: Its compeltly normal, i just got over a cold a few days ago and my sister and nephew still have colds. Your body is just getting used to the weather changing, from freezing cold to nice warm and hot. Just take some medicine and cough drops. Hope you feel better
Itz_your_luckee_day answered Sunday July 10 2005, 1:14 pm: Yea its totally normal in fact I'm getting over one right now. As for the congestion I use zicaam ((not sure how you spell it)) its this liquid stuff that you put in your nose and goes through your blood stream, its really easy to use and helps a lot! And if you ever get a real bad cold again use airborne <I swear its magic it isn't the greatest taste ((although my brother loves it : /)) but it definitely makes you feel better!! good luck [ Itz_your_luckee_day's advice column | Ask Itz_your_luckee_day A Question ]
desertgirl26 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 12:46 pm: Of Course it's normal! I have just gotten over a cold, it could be change of humidity or it could be allergy or sinuses. When your sinuses drain, it can cause your throat to hurt. Try some throat losengers or just blow your nose constantly. Whenver I run, my nose gets really runny, so I can blow it. Hope it works... thanks Sahara [ desertgirl26's advice column | Ask desertgirl26 A Question ]
HugsandKisses answered Sunday July 10 2005, 12:20 pm: I have the same cold now!!, my nose is really stuffed and my thorat is very soar. I took to Sudafed. Also try breathe right strips,or Vix Vaporizer and rub it on your chest, that should help. Make sure your stock up on throat lozenges.
passionate answered Sunday July 10 2005, 12:06 pm: Yeah, it's normal don't worry. You can get your nose unstuffed by on of those things that you put up your nose and sniff or one of the vapor things. The one where you sniff is better though. I'm sorry if you don't know what I mean because I'm not specific, but I forget the actual name.
Mackenzie answered Sunday July 10 2005, 11:20 am: It's possible, yes. And there's not much you can do in the means of stopping it, other than the obvious. Drink PLENTY of fluids [water is *definitely best], take medication, and keep tissues on hand. Also, consume a lot of hot foods, soup is ideal - hot foods diminish the 'stuffyness'. Get a sufficent amount of sleep, if not MORE, and try the Vick's Vapor Rub [if you have it? It *does work..]. Hope this helps?? Feel better!! :D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
