One simple, relatively easy inexpensive solution (no pun intended) with few
side effects is to use a saline nasal spray. This simple, and often
effective, remedy is too often overlooked in favor of some drug that may have
undesirable consequences. If you have post-nasal drip, sore throat, o
That happens to me too. It's quite ennoying. I actually keep Claritin in my
horn case. (I would forgot to take it otherwise).
Pseudoephedrine, I hope that was close, generally dries me out too much. But

Would that were so. I once had a sudden
I've noticed that too - that's why when I was sick in school band class was my

How come, when you're playing horn, even when you have a cold or sore
throat or allergies or the sniffles, you don't have to cough or sneeze or
blow your nose, even while sitting there counting measures of rest?
What a strange phenomenon -- that playing horn pr

Benadryl and Zyrtec are antihistamines, not decongestants, the former
