I dunno how I got a cold in the middle of the #$%@ summer, but I did. It's a very minor cold. I feel pretty much fine, just a bit stuffy, blowing my nose a bit but not scads. The main result is that, when I have a cold like this, I snore.
The problem is, I'm going to a remote one-room cabin stuffed with 8 people in a matter of days. I CANNOT SNORE THERE!!!
It started probably three days ago. It got better, then a little worse, then a little better, and now it's a little worse again, so I'm now into the GET RID OF IT!! phase rather than hoping it will resolve itself on its own.
So far I haven't taken any medicine, as for me, it seems to just drag things out. Willing to do so though I think.
I've gone swimming in the pool and can't tell if it helps or not. I swam (head under) for the first time this year before I got the cold. I swam on the first day and that preceded an upturn. I swam yesterday and that preceded a downturn.
I'll make some saline solution soon and squirt the heck out of my nose.
Been having a lot of fruit, and drinking plenty.
Only solution for snoring is getting over the cold, those nose strip things never do anything.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
