What is the best way to treat a cold sore?
Try Abreva and if can get a prescription of Mupirocin Calcium 2%, combine them and in no time it'll heal. I use both every ten minutes and in 2 days and half it's better. Plus don't bite your lip it'll swell like a balloon. Drink lots of fluids and avoid salty foods ans snacks!
A lot of cities have clinics that provide free or sliding scale services. One in our area is Visiting Nurse Assoc. Call hospitals to see if they have any places they could refer you to.

What is the best over the counter medicine for sinus headaches?
I have chronic sinus problems and the only thing that helps me is to do as saline rinse a minimum of once a day. (OTC and prescriptions tend to dry me out so much I get really bad bloody noses…so I avoid them.)\n\nIf you are having a lot of problems, there's a product called Alkalol. Here’s what it looks like: http://www.westburyonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=19299&HS=1\n\nIf you go to a Target pharmacy (or even some of the larger grocery stores) they sell it. Many times they keep it behind the counter so you just have to ask the pharmacist for it.\n\nI use this only occasionally because it does pack a wallop. Nothing painful but it certainly does clear you out!!
Not sure of the spelling, but I know several people who swear by Aerborne. Good luck & hope you have a super vacation!!

What's the difference between Nasonex versus Astelin?
I used to take Nasonex when I was younger for generalized allergies but it was no longer working. I was then switched to Astelin D and that seemed to work for a while to clear the inflammation in my nasal passages, but then it stopped working as well. I am now taking Nasocort AQ nasal spray and it appears to be helping at this time. I think some medicines work better for some people than others and that is why there are so many on the market. I would ask your doctor (which was prescribed most recently and for what symptoms), or try one for a few days and if it doesn't help, try the other.

When people do start to notice mucus, typically it is because the consistency of the mucus has gotten thicker rather than being a cause of overproduction. There are times however when the body begins to produce more mucus than what is necessary and often this can be a symptom of various illnesses. It can also happen when there is something that irritates the throat such as allergies or certain spices. Drinking milk can also be a cause of too much mucus.
