| | | expectorant is useful if you can't get your nose to blow
and for overnight those breatheright strips are good
but i have to put a tiny bit of lotion on the center of my nose or its not comfy because of the sticky stuff on the strip
but it still helps

so i bought cadbury eggs instead.
maybe vicks steam has a delayed reaction. old school ftw.
tomorrow i might buy sthng tho.

| | | the shit you squirt in your nose is a saline spray. it like mists it in there. lean your head forward though if you get it. because its fucking nasty going down your throat. you can make it yourself with salt and water and a little squirter.

| | this is rly a bad time.
i can't sleep.
i took the pm medicine, but still. and it doesn't decongest at ALL. FLAGRANT FALSE ADVERTISING. maybe this tylenol shit is BULLSHIT. i should've got nyquil.
then i ate some hot pace picante out of desperation. it only worked WHILE i was eating. then it came right back.
i should've got some spray.
i saw saline spray and then spray w/ other ingredients. i was under the impression the saline was for the aftermath of a cold when yr nose is all dry and wounded and shithouse.
idk. but i've rly had enough of this sars.
ENOUGH.

| | | otrivin. just don't use it for more than 5 days. follow the instructions on the label. being sick i can handle, not being able to breathe out of my nose is misery. i feel your pain.
