Ugh, at least its BEFORE vacation and not during vacation! I have the beginnings of a cold. I’m not a big “drug” person so I do my best to avoid things like Nyquil. I think my body is equipped to fight a regular cold.

I do however use a neti pot, its the greatest thing ever. You just take a teapot looking thing with warm water and some kind of salt solution and pour it in one nostril and out the other. Sounds gross I know but it really does help. It cleans out your sinuses which helps prevent blockages and bacteria from getting a chance to grow.

The other thing I do is eat healthy and try to get extra sleep and fluids. I avoid working out, I know you can still work out but if my body tells me to rest, that’s what I’m going to do. There is a reason why you feel the way you do and you should listen to it!
