Ugh, flu and FM - greaaaaat.

When I have a lot of sinus congestion, I go with the tried and tested Vicks Vaporub a lot. Thickly on my chest when I'm going to bed. My partner is very sensitive to having clogged sinuses and not being able to sleep, so she also puts some just below her nose to stay clear throughout the night.

From Vicks and other brands, there are also dissolvable capsules that you can put in hot water to steam yourself. Very hot water, one of the capsules or a tea spoon of the regular Vaporub into the water, then lean over it for deep breathing while covering your head with a towel to entrap the vapours. Very hot and you get a sweaty face, but it can make a difference in congestion. If you have a tub: a hot bath with eucalyptus bath salts can really help clear congestion.

Getting a good night's sleep is very tricky when dealing with a bout of being under the weather. Try not to nap too much, perhaps, especially in the latter half of the day.

A big fruit basket for you and I hope you'll feel better very soon!

Mucinex D behind the pharmacy counter works wonders!

Like Sonya, I prefer aromatics and lots of healthy stuff. My grandma's magic soup is my family's lifelong go-to. Combines all the goodies your body need when it's under the weather, and hot tea (mint for soothing your throat and nasal passages, ginger is "warming", and chamomile to ease muscle aches). I use Ben-Gay or similar instead of Vicks, and it works well for me.
Healing to you:-)

Zicam nasal swabs but they are most effective when the CD has first started. Sambuca (elderberry syrup) is an excellent anti viral. It comes in lozenges as well as liquid. I hope that you feel better very soon!

I'm sorry to go off-topic, but I sniggered when Fantod suggested Sambuca. I only know it as the Italian liquor. Tastes like anise and is 40+% alcohol (you couldn't pay me to drink that). I caught myself thinking for a moment "I guess you'd sleep if you get drunk, but why only on Sambuca?" Sharp as a whistle, this one...

Some of my go tos with a cold are elderberry capsules and oregano capsules. I also use homeopathic remedies. I felt like I was coming down with the flu a few days ago and took and took Source Natural Flu Guard. It did seem to cut it off at the pass. There are also mixed homeopathic remedies that you can usually find at a health food store that says it is for colds. I use just plain Mucinex, to loosen things up and then some saline spray to clear things out the old fashioned way. (I have chronic sinusitis, so this is really a thing for me.) If it does get to the really sinusitis stage, I have to reluctantly take the antibiotics.

Feel better!

Like Leo I use Ben-gay as a chest rub. Then I wipe my hands on a Kleenex then hold the Kleenex under my nose I breathe in the vapors. Vicks works well too. Hot tea with honey for throat. Ibuprofen for pain & fever. I use Zicam melt away tabs if I feel a cold coming on. They really work if you use them as directed. Benadryl for sleep. A sinus mask warmed up in hot water. These are a few things I do when sick. I hope you feel better soon!

Most of what I can do is dicated by my mum unfortunately being a teenager but at least she recognises I am sick at the moment , she isn't so accommodating with the fibro! She has gone and bought me cold and flu tablets and Butter-Menthol Tablets and soft tissues. Also some stuff for having in warm drinks. Hoping its going to clear up soon , also been taking some Advil for my sinuses.

Buy yourself a copy of "Fibro for Dummies" and ask your mom to read it. That helps some ofus get through to others about Fibro... BTW, being a teen doesn't negate your capacity to ask your mum for some decent hot soup. (Sorry, my own maternal instincts kicked in there. No kids, but still got the instincts.)
That said, my hubby swears a local restaurant's curry cures him, but I think it just makes his sinuses clear!
