Cold or sinus infection?

[Sarah Thompson]

My immune system is shot, so I am getting EVERYTHING that comes my way.  This cold is really thick; it's been well over a week and I have totally stuffed sinuses (green snot - gross!) and a bronchial cough.  I have had an unrelenting, splitting headache for days.  I think my 1 yo might have this a little, too; he's grumpy and fussy and that's not like him. I don't feel any indication of a fever.

 

I took oreganol for a couple of days but it didn't help.  Took elderberry for two days to no avail.  Lots of raw garlic but I'm going to try garlic water.  Lots of ferments.  Nothing seems to help.

 

Where would you go from here?  Should I go to a doctor?  The headache is almost unbearable.

 

Thanks,

Sarah

Do you have a netti pot?

 

Master tonic?

 

I always look at vit A for viral, vit B, C and D for immune boost, magnesium, selenium and zinc for supporting detox pathways. Omega 3 for anti-inflammatory.

Thanks.  I can't get the neti pot through - boy was that unpleasant!  I haven't been able to get all the ingredients for master tonic yet, alas.  I mean to.

My friend has had a lot of luck with Kold Kare.    I'd keep at the neti pot too, it will get through and really speed healing.

 

Hope you feel better soon!

Okay, I got a half gallon of elderberry juice.  What's the best way to use it, do you think?
