Bad head cold

I was told by my doc I can take regular robitussin and cough drops. I havent taken either but I swear my nose is running like water is coming out of it and it just keeps getting worse. should I take it or ride it out?

Re: Bad head cold

I took Robitussin for the last 2 months due to a cough.

I don't know if it will help with a runny nose since it is a cough/chest congestion. I would get saline nose spray and maybe a neti pot.

I would def suggest the neti pot I was sick pretty bad over a month ago and after 2 days with the neti pot my congestion was almost gone! Highly recommend it. and drink LOTS of water with lemon... And even hot water with lemon and honey... Works like a charm!
