I need major help with a minor problem!

[Guest]

Normally, I would never trouble you wonderful people with such a trivial issue as this:

I gots me the sniffles!

So why dare I intrude upon your sacred and peaceful lives with such a minute little problem?

I may have mentioned before that I play in a brass band. This weekend, we're participating in the Norwegian championship, and it's the biggest weekend of the year, both musically and .. ehh alcoholically. It's the mother of all parties. After the competition you party for two days straight, and the championship-weekend is often the highlight of the year.

Back to me and my nose.

I want it all, I want every piece of anti-sniffling/cold/flu advice you've got. What will help, and what will not? What will cure this menace before friday? I have 3 days to get rid of this thing. It's still in its infancy, so I'm wondering if there is a way to strangle this baby before it reaches maturity.

Stay warm. If you are physically cold you will have less blood flow around your sinuses so your body will have a harder time fighting the infection.

But if you have a cold already youre still going to be sick, this will just stop secondary infections and may help limit the colds effects.
