Drowning in work with an increasingly bad cold. I need to nip it in the bud. Anyone ever tried out the neti pot or have any other recommendations? Drinking herbal tea by the gallon.

Neti pot is a short term solution for sinus pressure (and personally didn't help me much, but others swear by it). I do a packet of emergen-c (one a day) and some Zicam tablets every hour and usually it clears up in a day or two to the point I can at least function again. Also Sudafed (the real stuff that you need to get from behind the counter) will help cause its a stimulant and it opens and dries out your sinuses. Good luck bud!

If it is just a cold cold not flu, then ginger bath. It saved me from a terrible cold before the investor meeting.

Zicam for sure. Lots of water too – it's even better than tea

I tried Neti pot once. Water never really came out the other side, was left with tons of water in my sinuses and the mother of all sinus infections the next morning.

Just take a hot shower, blow your nose, take DayQuil and stock up on vitamin C / Emergen C, drink water. Echinacea also helps

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time.

Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?
