my head is pouding and feels like it will explode and i am more aware of my sinuses' existence right now than i ever have been in the entirety of my life. focusing on anything for too long hurts, nyquil is giving me heartburn, ans i dont think ive been fully awake since last week.

1. anyone got any advice for clearing sinuses? ive got this thing where the first symptom i get with any cold is burning, acidic phlegm that drips from my nose down into my throat, and it hurts and is gross and makes me disgusted whenever i swallow. evne if you dont ahve advice, any talk to kepe me distracted (thoguh im not goign to be able to respond too quickly, most of the time) is really nice.
2. i love knowing peoples favorite colors and this downtime where i cant focus on anything seems like a good opportunity for bringing a favorite color survey i made to more places. Here it is! I would love if you submitted a repsonse.

anyways this is super good timing for a terrible cold because i have like eighteen group projects i was spearheading that end vrey soon, and are very not finished

i've heard that pressing right in between the middle of your eyebrows where the bridge is helps! i would try to confirm, but i actually have a piercing there so i can't put pressure on the area lol. but my favorite solutions is using menthol and steam! i used to have a humidifier in my room, but i left it back at my parents' place after switching apartments last year. ): pharmacies sell these awesome little vapor sticks of menthol that you can just shove up your nose & sniff & they're super great lol. i hope you feel better soon!! btw i answered your survey! and i can't stand group projects. good luck with yours and i hope everyone pulls their weight.

thankk you so much ! no humidifier and no money, but gosh, we do have menthol rub, and i cant believe i forgot about that.

Hey! Just filled out your survey! Hope you feel better, being stuffy sucks. Maybe lay on one side so all the stuffiness drains to one side and isn't on both??

I had more than one favourite colour, so I chose "other" and put all my favourite colours down.

I don't have any suggestions to clear sinuses. I hope you feel better soon. Being sick sucks.

When I have a stuffy nose/lots of phlegm, things I find help are: -keeping your neck warm with a scarf and staying warm in general -eating something spicy -breathing super slowly and gently, even if it feels wrong to

It also always helps to take vitamin C and drink lots of water. Will you share the results of the survey eventually? :)

thank you! the breathing slowly and keeping neck warm has helped a lot. i can't have spicy things because of preexisting conditions, but i am having lots of warm things. i didn't even think about it, but if you're interested, the results are here, but not compiled into anything meaningful, just single file.

that's fine! thank you for the encouragement.

thank you! i've never thought about that before. i'll try it out.

Answered the survey. I loves me some purple. Hope you feel better soon.

Glad it helps! Lol to the person that wrote in "poop."

Eating spicy foods tends to help me, though unpleasant. A hot shower can help, too. Hope you feel better soon!

Took the survey and as for the sinus problem, if you're into spicy food that can help from what I've heard.
