1. Do you get them often?

What do you usually take? Or how do you usually treat them?

I get them several times a year, and half the time it goes into my ears.

I haven't found a good over-the-counter remedy. I usually wait it out in misery.

3. No I don't get them often....but the headache is killing me.

I already sprayed some Afrin up my nostrils to relieve the congestion.

2. if you had some really good drugs, could you play an NBA game?

or would you stay home & still collect your $10,000 per game paycheck?

[Liberal Veteran]

4. I'd stay home and collect the check.

5. Get anitbiotics

If it really is an infection you will need them. I used to get 3-4 a year until I started using steroid spray.

8. I have a doc appt on monday already so that helps.

I'll get him to prescribe me some SMZ-TMP (which I am supposed to take for prophylaxis against opportunistic infections anyway, but I don't because it's just one more pill and my counts are close to not needing it anyway).

14. 5 days?? I would be immobilzed

My head would pound so bad I would be in bed in the dark until the antibtiotics took hold.

6. Just a sinus infection?

I thought I had a sinus infection because I had pain in my throat, a crapload of post nasal drip, and then my lower jaw was sore. Turns out I have the flu!

[Liberal Veteran]

12. Well, I don't think I have a fever.

Although I do feel wiped out.

7. Green or Yellow?

[Liberal Veteran]

10. Greenish.

Yeah...I know what you are talking about.

[fortyfeetunder]

16. Chicken soup with garlic....

And if you are dripping green, you need to be seen (by a MD)

9. Can I make you some tea or something?

:hug:

[Liberal Veteran]

11. What kind of tea? Will I have Chamomile, Chai, Jasmine, and Earl Grey.

Will any of those help?

[Lavender Brown]

13. I find a good mint tea really helps relieve the stuffiness

but chamomile is nice if you want to take a nap.

15. You're not the Eagles quarterback, are you?

Excuses, excuses...
