I'm looking for some temporary relief from whatever it is (runny nose, congestion, very sore throat) until I can go to the doctor (lucky me I get fucking sick on a weekend).

So far I have tried:
Dayquil
Sore throat spray (works at the sore throat for about 30 mins)
NyQuil
Alkazelser Plus


I need something that will help me sleep cause none of this stuff is working.

Most of the nose spays work very well at the runny nose congestion thing.  As far the sore throat goes I think it called cepical or something.  Very strong throat lozenge.  When I used them I had to only keep it in my mouth for a minute or 2 and save it for later.  Strong stuff.  Good luck though.

I feel your pain dude. I've had a really bad throat infection for the last 8 or so days. At first the doctors thought it was pneumonia and put me on the wrong antibiotics so it got real bad

Hope you get better.

A hot cup of tea or hot water of honey, helps you feel better.
Take some medicines and just sleep.

For running nose:

Take an injection, remove the needle, fill it up with salt water, place it in nostril, apply full pressure.

For better results use more salt. It may hurt a little but after that you'll be ok. Temporarily, at least. Ive been doing that for over 6 years. Works every time.

You do realize that vitamin C has no proven effect on sickness yet? For many it is just a placebo.

As for the OP - tea is good. Your body is losing heat and keeping it warm is good. If your stomach isn't feeling that great try having something with ginger (eg. ginger nuts) to settle it. As for the throat ... no ideas there, sorry.

I took some Theraflu for my sore throat and it basiclly killed my sore throat. As for the sinus congestion, I am about to take some mucinex. I'll let you know how that goes.

who cares if it's placebo?  if it works (for me, it does) it works.

This is gross, but it works......it's a sure fire way to open your sinuses so you can breath to go to sleep.  Afrin.  Here's the thing though, if your sinuses are slammed shut, you can't very well sniff Afrin up your nose.  Soooo....you soak the end of a Qtip in Afrin, and you stick it in your nose....ALL THE WAY.  I mean, until you can't see the Qtip anymore......just DON'T lose hold of it, or you'll end up in the hospital explaining why they have to extract a Qtip from your nose. 

Here's a tip though....most people assume their nasal passages go up, following the shape of your nose.  This isn't true....they go straight back.  So, you won't really be sticking the Qtip up your nose as much as you will be sticking it straight into your face.

Then, once your nasal passages start to open, take the hottest shower you can stand.   Or better yet, if you can make the water hotter than you can stand and just aim the nozzle away from your body, like at the wall of the shower so you can avoid getting scalded, and just chill out in the steam for a while.

A 12 hour Sudafed helps keep you open after that.

PS-  Seriously....extreme caution required.
