(by my doc, anyway) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502146 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 19:39:45 +0000 pl0508 502146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the neti pot. Or saline nasal spray. I had a sinus infection for about 2 weeks and both really helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502092 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:47:54 +0000 lawbee11 502092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks y'all! I'll have to try some of these. I am hoping it's just allergies and runs its course in the next week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502056 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:21:44 +0000 blackbird 502056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc put me on a neti pot and the OTC claritin. I also drank lots of warm tea with lemon and honey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502050 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:13:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 502050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I was going to suggest neti pot too, if you aren't totally stuffed up. I like the squeeze bottle kind, personally-- less messy and easier to use than the one that looks like a genie lamp. Doesn't help a ton but it's something. Make sure the water is warm.<br /> Have you tried sleeping with your head raised a little extra? That always helps me a little with the runny nose, if I can fall asleep that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502039 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:04:42 +0000 Silva 502039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wanted to add- for sore throat specifically, hot tea with lemon and honey always helps me. or gargle with a little salt water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502035 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:03:35 +0000 Silva 502035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>try using a neti pot?<br /> I had an awful cold a couple weeks ago, and was too congested to use the neti pot (don't use it if the water won't go through). I did use some oil that had several essential oils in it (eucalyptus was the main one) &amp; did a steam before bed &amp; rubbed some on my chest. Helped clear me out a bit more.<br /> The only other thing is to keep water by your bed and drink a bunch when you wake up to pee in the middle of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502034 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:01:27 +0000 loveisstrange 502034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Zyrtec every day when I was pregnant because of horrible pregnancy congestion.</p> <p>Zyrtec and Claritin (regular, not D) are safe during pregnancy. I've also read that eating marshmallows can soothe a sore throat, never tried it though. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502032 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:01:06 +0000 aprk 502032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had the same problem all week. I dealt with it by drinking a TON of fluid - water, tea, OJ. In my case, it just had to run its course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502028 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:59:25 +0000 MaisyMay 502028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can take benedryl at night. It'll also help you sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-nasal-dripsore-throat#post-502027 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:58:32 +0000 lawbee11 502027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The past few mornings I have woken up with a sore throat due to post-nasal drip. I have also been sniffling. I am pregnant so I know there isn't much I can take. Does anyone have any recommendations of something I can take or a more homeopathic remedy that might help? Thanks! </p>
