Colds

I am now sick for the second time in 6 weeks. I think it may be time to do something about my immune system. I love the commerical where the mans goes to an island for 6 months of winter all by himself to avoid illness. Yet I read Robinson Crusoe and he got deathly ill all by himself on an island. I finally gave into the NyQuil last night and got some much needed sleep. It is times like this when I am very grateful for Arbonne. I didn't have to call in sick or feel bad for leaving work to others. It is also a times like this when I miss my mom. She is the best nurse. She always took such great care of me. There is nothing like moms. They know just the right thing to say and how to say it. Here is to a cure for the common cold!
Begin treatment at the earliest sign of a cold
Take a sustained-release first generation antihistamine such as chlorpheniramine, brompheniramine, or clemastine.
Also, at the same time, take a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
Continue with the antihistamine and NSAID treatment every 12 hours until cold symptoms clear (3-7 days).
Add an oral decongestant such as pseudoephedrine and a cough suppressant such as dextromethorphan if the antihistamine-NSAIDs treatment does not control nasal obstruction and cough.
If nasal symptoms, facial pressure, and cough are no better or worse after 7-10 days, consider contacting your physician to treat bacterial complications if necessary.
