Thats enough about that. Enjoy the last few weeks
Roasteritis?
Head cold has set in here, not long recovered from the fucking Flu in January. Fucks sakes.
Coughing up awful globs of mucus here. Chunks of stuff you could feed to a hungry dog.
I fear this head cold is actually a Sinus issue.
Brown bloody snot, massive pressure around my forehead, between my eyes & nose.
Any tips for relief? Taking sudafed & just took a nasal shot in each nostril but the stuff Iām using is Sterimar which is for the child.
Anything else I should be doing?
Have you triedā¦
Yes, brown snot & thumb but no relief.

Boil a kettle of water, throw a large towel over your head and put the contents of the kettle into a basin. Now immerse yourself in the steam.

That sounds like an infection pal. Youāll need an antibiotic to clear it. Youāll get relief almost as soon as you start the antibiotic.

Thatās my fear.
I have 500mg Amoxicillin here in the House, is that a suitable Antibiotic would any of our Medical experts know?
Iām pretty sure thatās the stuff I took but I canāt remember dosage

Thanks lads.
We bought a nebulizer in Lidl a while ago. Itās the fucking bomb for clearing up any shit like that. (unless itās a proper full on sinus infection in which case get your drugs into you).

Otrivine mist (not drops) works well short term. A good share of your problem is the lining of the sinuses has swelled inwards making the job of clearing it very difficult. The otrivine rights that almost immediately giving you a good opportunity to clean them out, albeit temporarily. That where the steam really helpsā¦ a good hot shower is the job hereā¦ continuous supply of steam and keeping blasting it out all over the walls for inspection. Youāll think youāre finished and then a minute or two later thereās heaps moreā¦ thatās the steam working thoughā¦
There is a sinus specific antibiotic the name of which escapes me. If it is an infection proper, you may need it.

I used to live next door to a Slovak couple who kept a curative bottle of vodka stuffed with birdseye chillis. One shot either cleared the sinuses or provided a very potent distraction.

Itās a broad spectrum one so should help. Get a nasocleanse on amazon and start three times a week washing out the sinuses
You could make a salt solution now by boiling kettle and letting it cool a bit, put into a large cup add couple teaspoons of salt and some baking soda, lean your head over sink and pour it up your nose or use a calpol dosed to squirt it up

I have the flu, I feel like shit, theres a river running through my nose, Iām sneezing every minute and Iām about to go into a meeting with a very pissed off client whoās been assigned to me as I have to smooth things over. I just want to go home to bed.
Chilli fix above. Promise
