I just want to goto sleep. I'm about to OD on Nyquil and Ibuprofen.

This nasal congestion is some next level shyt. I have sniffed cayenne pepper, ACV, and done the saline nasal rinse.

Any help is appreciated. I'm trying not to have to goto the doctor.

Good luck with that shyt and better pray it doesn't become chronic like mine :to:

Since April of last year I have been with this shyt. It went away in the summer but returned after Hurricane Sandy :shaq2:

You may have to go and get antibiotics if it's bacterial; that ish can spread into an inner ear infection and that ish is hard to get rid of, and they may become chronic... and sniffing cayenne pepper? WTF?!?

definitely keep on that Ibuprofen, it reduces fever and inflammation. I've had a sinus/upper respiratory infection for the past 2 weeks. Use a humidifier in your room to moisten the air to help your sinuses, its winter time so the air is extremely dry. Other than that, ibuprofen and your nyquil thats all you can really do. Take vitamin C to help w/your immune system.

When my nose is annoying me to the point I can't sleep I usually just stuff tissues up them Redman style to get some peace.

You're just gonna have to wait the infection out though. Remember you can take up to 800mg of Ibuprofen at a time.

If it gets worse (fever, body aches, no appetite) you need to go to the doctor.

I get them a lot the nasal rinses are the way to go there a big help. Sleeping can be nearly impossible when you can barely breath.

This is the cold part, I'm fine otherwise. No headache, no fever and I eat like a fukking horse. It's just the nasal congestion and a little drainage to the back of my throat.

you should be fine then without having to go to the doctor. Body aches, fever and lack of appetite are sure signs that something worse is going on and that your body can't fight the infection alone.

You're just gonna have to treat your symptoms. I'm not sure if Nyquil has the anti-nasal congestion stuff in it, pretty sure the good nasal congestion medicine is called phenylephrine. Drink plenty of water to keep your throat from being dry, the drainage dries your throat out and can make it hurt.

I was desperate! The result was exactly what you think too, I INSTANTLY regretted doing it. But honestly the ACV might have been worse, when I did the rinse with raw ACV I just started punching shyt as I walked through the house wondering why the fukk I just did that.

The cayenne probably just inflamed your sinuses even more; you want to eat it, not sniff it LOL

And acid + inflamed sinuses just screams bad idea.

Eat some ginger. Dead ass, get a big hunk, peel off the skin, chew on it and suck out all the juices, then spit out the pulp. Trust me.
