Best Cold Medicine
I got a cold something fierce, dipped down to 40 first time since last winter and my dumbass was outside in shorts that night.
Anyways, dayquil works for like 30 minutes, nyquil doesn't do shit either for me. I got this Dicam or something like that tasteless stuff you stir in a drink, first off, my god it tastes so bad I could vomit, and secondly it doesn't do shit. If I don't find something to stop my runny nose, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, sinus pain and about 20 pounds of flegm in my thoat I am going to go insane. I've started drinking dayquil like it is water now, it's working but it's against the rules.
Going to town tommorrow afternoon what is the best I can get? I had to take some cylcobenzaprene muscle relaxors last night to fall asleep. DIEING HERE. Sneeze and it feels like razors are going up my throat.

If you have lots of congestion, you want to use Mucinex. Lots of vitamin C like Stanger mentioned and Delsym is the best cough suppresant OTC. If those aren't or don't work, its time for prescription strength meds and by the sounds of your throat description, you probably need antibiotics.

Sorry you're so miserable.
Sounds like you may need to go to the Dr. You may have an infection or more serious virus if you are getting zero relief from OTC meds...
Don't wait too long if you don't start feeling better.

For temporary relief. Hot tea with honey and bourbon. Also Thera Flu cold is pretty good.

I used to swear by alka-seltzer cold and flu but the last few years it doesn't do much for me. I think they changed the formula some years back due to a cancer causing agent and it hasn't been the same. I'll take the cancer as long as I don't have a stuffy head and runny nose.
A lot of people swear by that airborne stuff too although it didn't do much for me either. I usually just take a double dose of nyquil and fall into a light coma to get through the night.

First off, you need to get some OTC Sudafed... go to the pharmacy and ask for it.. you want the REAL shit thats still got physudophedrine in it... dayquil and nyquil used to have it to, but since the government restricted it they dropped the ingredient and you have to actually sign for Sudafed now...
But yea... do it. Sudafed and Advil and you should be mostly good to go.. I've got the same shit right now... but I'm taking nyquil on top of that too.

Sounds like a possible sinus infection to me. In that case, you really want to get on antibiotics asap.

Mucinex D... you have to sign for it, since Mucinex D can be used to make meth.

time and time again, vitamin C has shortened the time spent of me feeling like shit while sick. it really helps your immune system.
