Last week I took a business trip to Ft. Lauderdale, FL and then over the weekend took advantage of my location and jumped on a Carnival cruise ship to the Bahamas. What I didn’t have planned was spending all of Sunday in my cabin sleeping and trying not to get anyone else on the ship sick. I had caught a cold virus somewhere along the way and my throat was sore, nose started running, body ached and coughing was non-stop. It’s now Wednesday and after a trip to the doctor and ears that haven’t popped since my flight home on Monday, I’m still not feeling any better.
The doctor provided me with a nasal spray that he said might help with the tubes in my ears. They are inflammed and they need to go down before air can pass through them to release the pressure. I also received benzonatate for my cough. 24 hours in and I’m not any better. My body is so sore from coughing so hard. All of my muscles ache. Help!!!!
I’m hoping some of you might have some natural cures that I can try. Any tips?
