I'm hoping by now you're feeling a little better! One thing that I wanted to suggest is that if your nose is stuffed up, instead of using a nasal SPRAY, to use nose DROPS....I've had patients who used the sprays when they had a bacterial pneumonia and the infection travelled to their brain thru the sinuses b/c of using the spray. Not to frighten you, but just be aware of it. Other than that, Tylenol (if you aren't taking something that has aspirin or Ibuprofen in it already....try to stick with the same antipyretic (aspirin, tylenol, motrin, etc) in all your meds if they have them in them...so that you're not using one with Tylenol, one with aspirin, one with Ibuprofen ....to reduce your fever if you still have one. I assume your MD gave you antibiotics already, and they take a day or so to really kick in, but you want to keep your temp down as much as you can, just so you're more comfortable! And lots of thin liquids (water, juices, broth) to keep you hydrated esp. with a fever. The vaporizers are a great idea too if you can put one right next to you. I know how much you don't want to go to the hospital, esp. with your baby being sick too. And get as much rest as you possibly can. I know it's hard when you're the one responsible for a sick baby!Hope you're both feeling much better by the time this posts!

Hey guys, thanks for the great advice! I'm just popping in for a minute. The last few days have been rough. I'm feeling better just very tired and feeling very worn out. The fever is going down and I'm keeping liquids down. So I'm getting better slowly but surely

The doctor gave me antibiotics, some kind of cough syrup that makes me loopy, and a decongestant but it's not working. I know the antibiotics take time to work and he also gave me a shot to help me feel better faster but it's not fast enough. Any advice?

I dodged the hospital today but if I don't get this fever down, my family will force me to go and I just can't right now!

I can't even sleep, I just lay around in misery all day. What makes you feel better when you're sick? Any advice to help me breath? I tried steam and menthol but it didn't even work in the slightest.

I think you may need an intervention....all that above and you're still on YT?

Hope you feel better soon.
