Either sit in your bathroom with the shower running HOT water (close the door) or get a big pot, fill with water - when it starts to boil add some salt. Get a towel and "tent" your head over the water - not too close mind you. You can also drink hot tea with lemon and honey - that will help soothe your throat. If you don't have any, get some Nyquil - that stuff works great and will help you get some rest tonight.

Praying you feel better soon!

Thanks Suzi....I'll try the steam here in a little bit. My sinuses aren't really clogged, but I feel soooo much pressure from them. I will have to wait until after the bus route (around 4) before I take anything. Don't want to be drowsy on the bus....although, it might make it a little more fun...LOL Kids..? What kids? LOLOL

Awe, Janet! That really really sux!!!!!!! If your nose is clogged up, get some Afrin No Drip. It works wonders!!!! But don't take it for more than 3 days because any longer will cause you to become addicted to it. But hopefully after 3 days you'll be all well!!!!!!!!!

Aw, Janet!! HOw are you feeling now? You should try Tylenol cold and sinus pain relief -severe. It may not be in that order but I live on that stuff It helps with pressure and headaches. Can I also suggest a yoga potion? I know everyone's gonna think I'm crazy but my family is really into yoga and alternative meds. The basis of this pose is to get your head at or lower than your heart. Try and make an L shape against the wall. You can do this by scootchin your butt up to the wall and then bringing your legs up that way. Does that make sense? It usually helps me! I hope you feel better ps, its a great stretching pose!

ps, if that seems to hard, you could try the same concept with your feet up in the couch...and your back on the floor.
