Since last Thursday I've been laid up in my house with an ailment that has my sinuses blocked and green phlegm coughing up. I've taken all sorts of medicines to help reduce the symptoms: Allegra, sudafed, BC powder, NiteQuil, and i might be going on an antibiotic if things don't change. Nothing seems the help so im asking if ya'll have any ideas on how to get rid of this crap.
I think it started when on Wednesday I turned over my compost pile. It took me eight hours to accomplish that task because i have so much compost. Then Thursday I raked a small area just below the compost pile, cut the stubble down with a lawn mower, and then transfered the remains up to the compost pile. Four hours of that activity.
Got back into the house and began feeling crappy, sinus stuffy, snotty, and lethargic. Four days later I figured it would have run it course but it is tenaciously hanging on. Got any suggestions on how i can get relief? Thanks.
For all that nasty drainage, I suggest you cut up an onion (any type), put onion pieces in a jar (up to 3/4 full) and cover it with raw honey. Cover and let sit on the counter. In a few hours, you'll notice that the honey is thinner in consistency and you can start using it. Take a tablespoon of the liquid several times a day. It will loosen the secretions, aiding with sinus drainage and making it easier to cough out nasty secretions. It will soothe your throat. Hope you find relief and healing soon.
