guys know will work.... I gotta work in 2 hrs and it sux! My sinuses and nose! I work at a Restaurant and dont want to be sneezing over peoples sh!t!!! I know the medicine wont work *that fast* but something to work!

PLZ!

Any medicine you take to ease the symptoms prolongs the illness. The body creates the congestion, etc., as a way of fighting the disease. If you do away with the symptoms, you make it harder for your body to fight it. You should certainly not be working at a restaurant under these conditions. Sneezing is not the only way to pass this on. And rest is the best thing you can do to get well.

A friend once told me lemon juice can help a sour throat. I, too, have sinus problems, and Mucinex DM is one of the only things that I have found to really work. As for the flu, try to keep yourself level without too much jolting around. If you're like bouncing up and down, it'll make it worse.

Benadryl, or anything using the same active ingredient, usually works for me, at least to hold off the symptoms. (If it's really the flu, it'll take about a week to get over it, no matter what you do.)

Hot water with lemon and honey. Some rest. Some throat drops. A roll of toilet paper or kleenex. I don't like nyquil but it might work.

avoid inhaling nasal fluid.
