Cold Sore Medicine
What can I take if medicine isn't working for a cold,sore throat and runny nose other than tea?
I took some medicine but I think I kind of took too much that my stomach now feels fatigue!
colds are viral so there is no cure and antibiotics will not work to treat it-antibiotics only treat bacterial infections
you need to eat something that will help absorb the excess medication and acid in your stomach that is causing it to be upset. try things like toast with a small amount of butter, saltine crackers or ritz crackers.
when i have a cold i do these things:
-dayquil for when i need to be up during the day-it works great. it dries up my nose and helps soothe my sore throat and quiets my cough.
-nyquil at night-helps your sleep and stop your symptoms
-use a warm mist humidifier in your room at nite ( this keeps the air moist and prevents your nose from getting plugged up and also keeps your throat from drying out-making it less sore)
-suck on ice cubes and hard candies to relieve your sore throat
-gargle with salt water (2tsp of salt to 8oz water)
-drink hot tea w/honey-it will help your sinuses and soothe your sore throat
make sure to drink plenty of fluids but avoid things with alot of caffeine-it's a diuretic which means it will make you lose more fluid, putting you at higher risk for dehydration. sprite,gatorade,and water work best
hope you feel better soon
