Chest and nasal congestion
Posted on 5/16/19 at 7:17 pm

Just got over a nasal congestion cold and hit by one that's both nasal and chest this time. Here's my home treatment, chime in with any help.
Mucinex
Lots of zinc and C
Neti pot like 7 times daily
Rest
Long, hot showers where I hack up dime sized chunks of mucus
Any other recommendations welcome, this sucks.

Dissolve vaporub in hot water and breath it in.

I think I'll add that to the hot shower. Gracias.
Yeah, I forgot I'm taking mucinex and nyquil both. I got nyquil covered.

Take an antihistamine and some pseudoephedrine (from behind the pharmacy counter). Don't waste your time with that phenylephrine shite.

Putting this in a 15 minute hot shower was great. The only downside was it got on my feet and was super slippery. Then, when I sat down to wash it off my feet, I got some Vicks on my taint.
But it was the best my chest felt by far. I'll be doing it at least twice today.

I'm from Tucson, AZ. Trying for things that aren't already part of a daily routine.
Seriously, though, thanks to everyone for suggestions. Wound up at urgent care with low oxygen saturation. It's viral, so not much to do but ride it out with some of the stuff in this thread.

Stay hydrated and sleep.

I've been drinking between 1.25 and 1.5 gallons a day. I'm a dumb sob in some ways, but I hydrate hard.
