I have a cold
Dear Ma'ams and Sirs,I wake up at 3:30 AM with a burning sore throat, right in the middle. It seems to be at the point where the air passage narrows, near the sinus opening.
The nostril on the side that I was laying on is blocked up. I turn onto the other side to allow that nostril to open up, which of course closes the one now on the side being layed on.
The right side is more likely to be clogged, and slower to open up using the above strategy.
When I catch a nostril open, I can blow my nose. It's like egg whites, but a little yellowish. It's gotten a little clearer today.
The whole thing started when I stayed up all night, playing with my computer. Didn't get any sleep Friday night 2/18. Maybe Id have gotten infected, anyway. First thing I noticed in my exhaustion Saturday was a dull thud-of-a-headache centered behind the top of my nose. Sometimes, it moved away to my eyebrows. That went away within a couple of days.
The last few days have seen a little stuffed nose, and having to blow every 15 minutes or so. Energy is good. I tried varying potencies of Kali Bich for a couple of days, but I cant get this cold to go away. I guess the nasal discharge isnt colorful enough to qualify as KaliB.
I'm writing because I woke up last night with a sore throat. The worst part was the discouragement, because I thought I was getting better, and suddenly my first symptom returned. I had taken KaliB before going to bed. That was the last time, about 24 hours ago.
Today, I had a couple of unproductive coughs. A hard tickle, feels like the middle of my windpipe. It would be nice if we could keep my chest from getting involved. The congested feeling occasionally radiates into my ears, symetrically.
The sore throat was the worst of it. Not impossible to swallow, just annoying, and it makes me loose more sleep. The headache wasn't too awful. My nose is getting a little raw from a week of tissues, but it hasnt been the worst of clogged noses. I never got a fever from this one. Nothing ever got worse than uncomfortable.
And now, a word about my mental state: When you start me up, Ill never stop. But you knew that.
Time to get rid of this cold. Very many thanks for your help.
xxxooo,

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You only spoke of noses and throat. You are a whole body, please include it also. You gave only one line about your loquaciousness. Please include likes/dislikes/hot/cold person etc.
Please take a dose or two of Merc. vivUS about 3C to 30C and see how it goes. Two in one day.
It is hard to treat just a nose.
Blessings, Sabra
