The worst problems caused by congestion for me today have been using mouthwash (impossible when you can't breathe through your nose!) and eating a lollipop (awkward to do with an open mouth, impossible to do otherwise). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-stuffed-up#post-530948 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:59:18 +0000 Sammyfab 530948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can try Hydrasense. It's like the Neti Pot but cheaper! Feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-stuffed-up#post-530938 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:53:30 +0000 prettylizy 530938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with you too.... as is LO. We have 2 humidifiers going all day and night right now, steamy showers etc. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-stuffed-up#post-530918 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:42:29 +0000 Alivoo01 530918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neti pot and maybe something with phenylephrine? It's a decongestant but not nearly as strong as say Sudafed. Normally, dosage for its like 5-10mg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-stuffed-up#post-530545 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:43:52 +0000 rachiecakes 530545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neti pot all the way! Lots of hot ginger tea &amp; baths, I swear by Airborne (even though its just a multi vitamin).<br /> I hope you feel better!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-stuffed-up#post-530485 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:03:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 530485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: @sorrycharlie: @chopsuey119: thanks friends!!! </p> <p>@hellobeeboston: oh man, this is my fear...

What do you do when you're stuffed up? No decongestants... that's what made me dry up (lactation suppressant!) when I was nursing Wagon Jr. !!! </p>
