I have a suggestion about what to do for your cold...I have four kids and have three with chronic asthma, and allergies so the cold and congestion has been an ongoing issue in our house for 28 years!!!
This is a remedy my grandmother , and mother always swore by and I've used it on my little ones who had earaches so bad they couldn't sleep..........any ways, take a little (an eyedropper full ) of warm olive oil, canola or soybean if you don't have olive) and a small towel, and go to a comfortable spot on your couch, tilt your head so the OfFENDING ear is up toward the ceiling and drop in a couple drops of warm oil. Don't tilt your head!, keep it crooked and put the towel to your ear. and lay down with the oiled ear facing the ceiling.......stay there watching tv or just relaxing for about 5-10 minutes........then, when you get, keep holding the towel to your ear and up sit up slowly and sit with your eyes straight ahead and let the oil sort of flow out your ear and into the towel you have on your ear.......it's amazing how good this is gonna feel.......it helps with the congestion and is totally safe for your ear....your hair will get a little oily but hey, just think of it as a deep conditioner!!! the relief is fairly temporary....like a few hours but it can help any thing thats in there to get lubed up and to start moving..............this is what they used to do for ears before there were decongestants
I'm not a doctor or a nurse just a mom with a lota years under my belt!!
