Answers:
If you take care of yourself about 7 days. If you don't take care of yourself about a week. Boil water with a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Stand over it and breath in the mist. It will loosen up your bronchial tubes and knock down your lung congestion. Lots of juice, water, vitamins, especially high doses of Vit. C and chicken soup (homemade of course). Take a Tynanol 3 for fever and sore joints. See ya in a week. Catch up on your sleep and stop stressing out, it's a cold not a heart attack.Health Question & Answer
Oh dear, that sounds like what I have. I've had a horrible cough and congestion for a week now. I can't tell you how long it will last, but if it goes a week and you're still feeling like this, I'd see a doctor.
What seems to help calm my cough the most right now, is warm tea with honey. I've tried everything, and this is what seems to make the most difference. It'll help ease your sore throat, as well. You might also want to try taking a hot bath, or running the hot water in the shower and just sitting in the bathroom. If you have a humidifier, let that run as well. This time of year, when we start using our heating more, the air becomes very dry, and in turn can irritate our sinuses and respiratory system.
