Sick as a Dog!!

I have a really bad cold and I have been having a hard time holding down any food. I figure it is all the fleam filling up my pouch. I am drinking plenty of water, but that is it. I have been miserable for the past two days, I am limited to very little Tylenol products and that is limited to the amount I can take while my liver is still regenerating. I guess, I just wanted to know if anyone else has ever had trouble with a cold and a hard time holding down food due to fleam. If so what did you do or am I doing everything already? Cough, Cough, Sneeze, Sneeze and lots of !!! Shelia

Call Dr. Spaw! I do know that the constant sinus drainage will fill your pouch and make it impossible for you to get food in and keep it down. Dr. Spaw is going to be the best source of suggestions for getting in your fluids and nourishment. Since the office is closed now...can you try some warm chicken bouillion? I would think the warmth and the saltiness might help break up some of that stuff. Bless your heart! I know you were feeling pretty miserable Saturday. I'm so sorry to hear that it has gotten this bad.

Will do first thing in the morning, I should have called earlier, but just keep thinking it would pass. Just not getting better, I am keeping fluids down, just not food, not even yogurt!! Shelia

Bless your heart, Sheila! I hope you feel better soon. (((hugs))) -Alyssa

awww... i'm sorry to hear that Shelia! I've had sinus drainage that makes me kind of queasy feeling. It is usually worse in the mornings... but just focus on soft protein (soft cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt) to help get you through this.... if you can. If you have any of your bullets left..use those Hope you get over this soon! april

Thats icky! I hope you get to feelig better

I can't offer any advice but I do want to wish you well.

Shelia hope you get to feeling better! I agree with susan call your Dr ans see what they say until then try to get as many liquids as possible like broths and such. Feel better!!!
