I am very very sick with a cold, i am coughing up mucus and my throat and lungs feel like they are burning, chloreseptic spray isnt working and neither is vapourub or tea with honey, i have tried having hot showers and stuff to break up the mucus but when i laugh i literally choke on it and i cant take anything but tylenol my eyes are watering like crazy and my nose is raw and bleeding, i have a dr apt tomorrow and ive slept less than 20 hrs in the last 3-4 days :( i cant sleep because my nose, lungs, and head feel very congested. It started with a throat infection 4 days ago and its gotten so much worse. Does anyone have any suggestions that might get me through the day, or might help me get better faster. I have my ultrasound this week and next week my baby shower and a vacation. I have a hard time holding things in my mouth (spit, juice ect) so i cant gargle salt water ill puke. Any suggestions on kicking this cold would be great, tia.
