Both me and DH went to the doctor earlier this week and I have a sinus infection and hubby has had a cold for weeks that has settled in his trachea. I am feeling better (thank goodness..can't imagine getting on a plane with this face pain).

I should start packing..soon I guess. And I am already dreading leaving my dogs.

I need some pixie dust or something.

pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust: Hope you and DH are both feeling better soon. Rest and drink lots of fluids and keep saying "I'm going to Disney" and you'll feel better. :)

Thanks for the pixie dust and the great advice.:thumbsup2
 
Probably the worst is over since its been 6 days.

Here is what I would do:
max out on vit C 1000mg-2000mg a day
take 2-4 garlic tab a day
drink lots of hot tea and homemade chicken soup
take vit B 50 as well as a multivit
gargle with salt water 2x a day
use a neti pot (I have a little tea pot that I use) 2x a day

and just recently I have found tea tree oil to be very healing. I make a 5% solution mixing 20 ml of canola oil and 1 ml of tea tree oil. Swab the inside of my nostrils with a q-tip moistened with it. Do this 2x a day. Look up tea tree oil on the web. Its amazing stuff. Even kills bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

With chest congestion I would suggest speaking to a pharmacist about taking Musinex (sp?).

Stay home, get lots of sleep, take decongestant to dry up the yuk. Speak to a pharmacist before taking this if you are on any Blood pressure medication.

Hope you feel better soon!:grouphug:pixiedust:

DH's cough is almost completely gone and I am also feeling better today.
I even felt well enough to break out the suitcases and start a little packing.
