Getting a cold???

[Italiangirl]

Hi! 

Today I woke up with what feels like it may be the start of a cold, but it could also be allergies.

So, when I woke up one of my nostrils was completely stuffed up: I sniffled an awful lot in order to try and clear the congestion, but then I gave up and used some nasal drops to try and unblock my nose (well, my nostril to be specific). I also let out 2 extremely snotty and loud sneezes.  

I've been very sniffly all day (most of my sniffs were wet and thick) and I also sound a tiny bit congested. 

Not only that, my nose has been running like a leaky tap (although now it subsided a bit) and I had to blow it a few times as all the running was getting overwhelming.

There hasn't been much sneezing though, apart from one looong sneezing fit which left me breathless and even snifflier than I was before, but I haven't been that congested.

Now I'm still a little bit sniffly, my nose feels slightly irritated and both my palate and throat tickle SOOO much (which makes me think it could be just hay fever, since I don't get that with a cold), but overall I feel a little better.

I'll keep you updated on how this thing progresses... whatever it is...

If this continues, I'll try to post some recordings.

Hope you enjoyed!

Bless you. I enjoyed reading your descriptions and I also hate it when one nostril is blocked. Those nasal drops seem to have worked well. If it turns out to be a cold, I hope you feel better soon.

Bless you! Hope you have a good stock of tissues/hankies for that drippy nose and get better soon

Today I woke up feeling a bit better, even though I'm still a little sniffly and still sound congested (it's weird because I'm not stuffed up but my m's and n's sound a bit like b's and d's). There haven't been any natural sneezes so far, I did have to induce one though, because my nose was annoyingly tickly but I couldn't sneeze. It felt so liberating! 

I only blew my nose once so far. 

I don't think it's a cold but we'll see...

I'll keep you updated.

Bless you lots. If I have a cold I have nasal drops on hand for a blocked nose but if I'm on my own I'll use my chhinkni. 

Hope you have a good supply of tissues / handkerchiefs and get well soon

Yesterday I woke up feeling fine so I guess it wasn't a cold after all... I have allergies though, so I did get a tickly palate and throat. Also, sometimes my nose got itchy all of a sudden and I felt like I had to sneeze but didn't manage to, so I had to coax it out with a tissue.

Today I'm fine though.
