I went out feeling fine and came back with congested nose, headache, cough, sore throat and my ears keep going funny, (keep popping, getting blocked etc).I was at my Grandmas today, she sort of smokes like a chimney, there was like 6 people smoking in one room, her house is also quite dusty with a lot of clutter and there was also 4 poodle dogs too.
At the time, I just kept on sneezing like mad, literally 20 times in a row, I also started coughing and my head also started to ache.
Now I'm back at home, I just feel awful and can't stop coughing etc. I did take an allergy pill 1hr ago, but it hasnt really done anything yet.
I thought it was an allergy, because dust does make me sneeze a lot.
What else can do?
I need to feel better soon, because I'm working at the hospital tomorrow.
Angie - It sounds like you might have the start of a viral infection (pharyngitis, etc) which can definitely be aggravated by smoke and dust allergies.
ReplyDeleteTry using a saline nasal rinse (like a Neti Pot). It should help your nose & throat.
John M - Well you can go to a pharmacy and buy a decongestant or a antihistamine if those fail buy night quil cold and flu
