Filled with Phlegm

I planned on spending most of the afternoon searching for open access points in my neighborhood. Mother nature decided to intervene; my sinuses have been draining down the back of my throat for the better part of two days, completely nullifying my sense of taste. I tried half a spoonful of wasabi, but the hit only lasted for a few seconds. Nothing's gonna wear down this mucus blanket but time. For dinner, I plan on having some Halls (with mentho-lyptus). They have Advanced Vapor Action, ya know? Yeah, I know it's nothing more than candy – but the minty flavor is keeping me from going hoarse. I plan on popping a Ricola or two for dessert. Maybe even a can of seltzer water to wash it all down? I really don't wanna go to bed with Nyquil coating my tongue for the third night in a row, though. That stuff always knocks me out; it's a capful of green, liquid death. But I don't blame Vicks. Oh, no… I blame it on the rain that was falling, falling. Some would say that the chemicals they used on my hair pushed me over the edge. Judge for yourself. Thanks again to everybody who provided a mirror for the video!

Maybe instead of Nyquil, you should take Dayquil at night. It won't lay you out!

Steam. Lots of steam. Get away from the computer, too. You need to rest.

Just hope that you get better :-)

the cherry one is much better the the green liquid of death and the Robitussin Honey Cough Drops works pretty good well at lease for me it works good.

I think the steam from coffee will do just fine… Robb's advice ain't so bad, heh. The coffee was *so* choice this afternoon. Thanks for the cup :)

When the phlegm starts, I like to drink Bigelow Lemon Lift tea with honey. It helps prevent my throat from becoming sore.

I've started trying some of the theraflu stuff. Because the whole hot liquid steam effect seems to help also, and I'm not sure that coffee is the best thing for me when I've got a cold. That and keeping hydrated don't seem to mix ;).
Be warned not all the theraflus taste that good, the 'honey' flavored ones seem to be particularly suckful.

try cold-eze zinc lozenges. Yes, they actually work.

All of that over-the-counter stuff is worthless and only good for temporary symptomatic relief. You breathe in worse chemicals than hair dye on your drive to work. Did you know that some foriegn made capacitors still contain PCBs?

Hope that you are feeling better.
