It usually means I have a sinus infection and/or ear infection as well as my glands are usually swollen in my neck. I purchase baby pedialyte but store brand as it is cheaper and put it over ice as it gives me electrolytes and helps with my body aches. They make different flavors or no flavor. If it continues see your doctor. I also take Coricidan HBP but admit it rarely helps nor does anything else. I am usually worn down and need lots of rest as well. I do put Vicks Vapo Rub on my face, neck and a dab in each ear then put cotton in my ears. (just do not get it near/and or in your eyes. Hugs and prayers.
Please get to the doctor ASAP. Claritin Tylenol. I was the same way. Had a virus and a sinus infection.
Yes, please be examined, Patricia. It may all be just a cold, but it's important to ensure there's no secondary bacterial infection requiring antibiotics.
I would first, check with your dr to see what otc meds are safe for you to take. Then use old school home remedies taboot like chicken noodle soup, fresh oranges for vit. C, hot tea, vick's vapo rub, lots of rest and water. I am all about making myself as comfy as I can. Hope you feel better fast!๐
