Which Cold Remedies
Are Right For You?
Have you ever found any cold remedies that really
work? I’m asking because I need help. At least twice a year I develop what can
only be described as a nasty cold, and I end up suffering with it for at least
two weeks. During these two weeks not only can I not find any time to work, and
my house is a mess. My husband is very understanding, but after a while he
starts to get grumpy. My daughter wants me to play with her but I am always so
stuffed up that I get dizzy and feel like I am about to fall over.
Surely there has to be some cold remedies out there that I have yet to try.
Something has to work. I can take some medications that work for a while, but
after they wear off I feel worse than before I took it. Since I cannot be on a
steady diet of medicines while I am watching a young child, I have to think of
other cold remedies to help ease my cold into something a little more bearable.
When I take cold medications I get clumsy, and that is not a good thing when my
daughter is so active and gets into so much trouble.
My mom has tried to suggest some rather interesting cold remedies to me, but
none of them have worked like I need them to. She has told me to put a cough
drop in a bowl with boiling water and to then cover my head with a towel and put
it over the bowl. I swear I saw that in a movie once, and I wonder if it really
works or if she is pulling my leg. She’s a nurse, so that is why I asked her for
cold remedies, but she is also a smart aleck, so really don’t know what to
think. I do know that it doesn’t work very well, though it does offer minimal
comfort on my worst days.
There are a lot of cold remedies out there, but I fear none are made with moms
in mind, or at least I should say that are not made with me in mind. Dayquil
works wonders, but it also has a bad affect on my head and my mind. It makes me
loopy, and I cannot concentrate while I am on it. Nyquil works at night, and so
do some other meds. These cold remedies worry me though, because I cannot wake
up properly if my daughter needs me. Until someone can help me, I’m afraid I
must suffer through.
