GAH it is about to drive me crazy. It itches all the way back to my nasal passages.



ANd get your mind out of the gutter.

1. why are you trying to come down with a head cold?

4. I was bored and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

:P

2. sounds like an allergy

instead of a cold . . .

try an antihistamine.

3. I agree! This is after all Mountain Cedar season in Texas

The itching is a primo allergy sympton.

My eyes itch like mad this time of year.

Antihistamines, Nasonex, NetiPot are all helpful

5. Was thinking that, but I am not allergic to Mountain Cedar.

Using Zicam and it is knocking it out.

8. it could be anything

you're allergic to. And I know from experience, that you can become allergic to something that you used to not be allergic to.

Though I'm glad it's only a cold since the Zicam seems to be working.

My "cold cure" is 1000 mg of Vit C and 3 echinacea/goldenseal four times a day. And lots of water.

Good luck and Happy Holidays.

9. 1000 Mg of Vitamin C and I am running.

100 Mg is enough for me.

6. Throat lozenges... I've found them helpful for the itchy-roof-of-the-mouth.
