I HATE those! Did you try some Alka Seltzer Cold gel tablets? I swear by them. They make you sleepy though so I would take them at night and see if they feel better.
Other than that, if you can't go night night, can you breath in some hot water mixed with a bit of Vicks? Sometimes that will loosen things enough to get rid of the headache and you can take Tylenol at the same time.
Much luck to you.

I had never heard that. Wow. When I think about it, I think that they took the inhalers of the market here too. I wonder if the gooey stuff is the same way.
That would be really cool if you could find that article. I would hate to put
Alexandria at risk by using the gooey stuff and the water method I like so much.

well...people have been putting the rub on babies for generations...i'd be surprised if it was harmful....unless it reacted with another medication or something.PrincessLissa said:I had never heard that.

YEP, My mom did it with all us kids, and I did it with my boyz, rub alittle bit on their back and chest, and I even used to put some on a tissue in their room. Just make sure you cover their upper body very well, and keep them warm, don't let them get a draft. In the morning, wash it off with a warm washcloth and cover them back up.
I even used to put some in a pot on the stove and boil it for a little while to make the house smell of it, I hated smelling it though the house, but when they were really congested it helped.

There's a new BabyRub out for things like that, I guess.
Pseudoephedrine works great as a decongestant, and nearly everything OTC has it in there. I learned what all has it because this year the state passed a law restricting pseudoephedrine because it's a key ingredient in homemade methamphetamines. We can no longer stock it anywhere else in the store excep the cold wall, which now has a surveillance camera. Also part of the law is that all the pure pseudoephedrine pills, like regular Sudafed, are all locked up. Also, no more than 2 packages of it can be purchased at once, but this was already Walgreens policy before the law took effect and the registers catch it if anyone brings up more than 2.
BTW, a little sneak peek from my next revision, Excedrin is coming out with a new Excedrin Sinus Headache, but I haven't seen the product yet, maybe next week or so.
