Okay, Monday night I had a slight sore throat. When I woke up on Tuesday morning my throat was absolutley killing me. I stayed home from school that day. Later on in the day, I was so achy and tired and my nose was really stuffy. I woke up severel times in the night because I couldn’t breathe thru my nose. I woke up this morning still with a killer sore throat. I slept till 9:00 and when my mom woke me up she said she’s going to take me to the doctor for a strep throat test. At that point I had no sore throat. I didn’t go to the doctor. I felt better but I stayed home again because I finally thought my cold was going away and that I just needed to rest and I’d feel like new. This afternoon I had a really bad headache and my nose was all stuffy again. I still have that headache. I don’t want to stay home from school again, but if I still have a bad headache(sinus) would that be a viable excuse? I wish I had some medicine to take, but we live in a small town and there is no place that has any near us. My mom won’t take me anywhere to get any, so what can I do?
I don’t think I have a deviated septum, I’m pretty sure its a bad cold. We don’t have any of the minerals you mentioned, so thats not an option right now. As for soup, I don’t think I could stuff it down my throatt right now, I’m really not hungry. I need a quick fix, so that i can sleep peacefully and not wake up 25 times in the night because i can’t breathe. The only thing that helps me right now is nose spray(10-12 hour stuff) and it only works for 2 hours or so. Im seriously contemplating staying up all night and saying the hell with it and in the morning highjacking my mom’s car and driving somewhere to get something to help me! I feel horrible and nobody seems to grasp that! To hell with school too, why go when I’m not going to be able to do anything? When I fail out of the 10th grade I can just blame my LAZY mother!

it sounds like you have a diviated septum. those are the same symptoms I have had before. Get some MUCINEX (full force) from wal-mart or drug store. it helps me. that is just a temporary solution , your gonna have to go to a EAR NOSE THROAT doctor. Hope it works

If it is sinus pain, try taking a hot shower/bath or do “tenting” (have your head above a bowl of Very hot water and have a towel over your head so the steam doesn’t escape). Also, have tea, hot chocolate, soup, etc. The steam and heat will relax your sinuses so they can drain.

well the above tips are good for that, take a hot bath will help, mix honey and lemon in a cup and add hot water to make a thing gravey like drink and drink that, also if u can walk around for a bit, indoors is preferable, as walking will clear your nose regardless, it will block back up but if u can get som balsm/menthil oils and rub it on ur tp lip u should be ok for a bit, it does depend though and for the love of god dont get any into the soft tissue of ur nasal passage, the first time i used menthal oils i hadnt been told how to use it and poured some into my nose, its all i could taste for over a month and it burned like dry ice on your tounge
