Full of cold, how long???
I started with a cold 6 days ago, blocked nose, full ears and head, no pain at all and my main symptom was very bad pressure in the ears, which made me feel off balance a tad.
When driving my ears fill up worse, it is like when on a plane and you feel they need to pop, but in my case they never pop. I am still snotty, but it is clear, no fever etc.... my main issue is the congestion. Will this clear in time or will I need to take something? I don't get on well with decongestants, but I am using a steroid nasal spray for a polyp that i have had for ages.
My sons have both had this cold, my eldest was hit by it quite badly bless him.

Get some menthol crystals from the chemist to put in. you will only need a couple in the water as they are very strong! My cats run from the room when I use them :)

lol! I used them years ago, they are very good x
Re: Full of cold, how long???
If it's any consolation, I caught a bad cold on January 1st this year. It was actually about the 2nd February before all the after-effects of it had gone, so unfortunately at this time of year they can last a long time!
