Is this bad - Afrin
 

A week ago the wife and I made a friendly wager on something now forgotten. What I didn't forget is that I won.

It was our usual bet that involves the other person doing something nice and special for the other, if you know what I mean...

Well ever since then she's been sick. I don't mean faking it sick, I mean she's really sick. You know the kind, coughing, stuffy-can't-breath-out-the-nose kind of sick. Plus she's sore from coughing and tired from not being able to sleep. Can't taste food, etc.

So I'm just wondering if it's bad that I keep coming home from the store with boxes of Afrin so she can breath out her nose?

Is she coughing up green stuff?

Re: Is this bad - Afrin
 

If yes then she has a infection and probably needs a z-pack which is a antibiotic
If no then she probably just has a sinus infection and needs some sudafed and some mucinex everyone at the office has that same stuff:( sorry she feels bad

Re: Is this bad - Afrin
 

I don't care WTH she's got, woman! I just want her to be able to breath through her nose!:giggling:

Seriously tho, she just started antibiotics even tho I've told her all along that I had just the right medicine... if only she could breath through her nose....:clapping:

Get her ears plumbed for breathing tubes.:jump:

Re: Is this bad - Afrin
 

Yes. Not only are these chemicals bad for your body, but they can also lead to addiction and recurring symptoms that worsen over time. Worse yet, repeated use of these sprays is also known to damage the sensitive membranes inside the nasal passages which can lead to chronic nose bleeds.

Try breathe right nasal strips. :D

Afrin is brutal on the sinuses...

Look up a Neti Pot - sinus sufferers swear by them. I use it with a sea salt saline solution - plenty of recipes on the net - usually 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, cup of water, pinch of baking soda - if the baking soda irritates, eliminate it. Use either the Neti or a turkey baster looking thing to rinse through the sinuses. Sounds gross, but it does work and work well....

Ceftin is the preferred med for sinus infections - 10 day course minimum. Ceftin is much easier on the stomach than other similar meds. Z-Packs are usually not long enough nor strong enough - personal opinion

She has my TOTAL sympathy and I hope she feels better soon.

Does it cause global warming too? :D

Re: Is this bad - Afrin
 

Yes.

It also causes sleep driving along with temporary amnesia about the event, drug dependence, withdrawal symptoms when the drug is stopped after being used on a regular basis, excessively outgoing or aggressive behavior, confusion, agitation, strange behavior, hallucinations, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

get some vicks vapor and boil some water and mix it together with the steam lean over the steaming water with the vicks in it and it will drain her nose ....not joking it will work or take a hot shower and then put some Vicks on her chest and under her nose it works she will smell like a old woman but it works miracles ....hope she feels better
