Hi Carol, I also came down with the same bug (Sunday too at the family Christmas gathering! <G>), and taking regular CS doses. I sprayed some CS in my nostrils, (they were burning from the congestion already so the usual burn of water in the nose didn't bother me) and that seemed to help. I also put CS in the vaporizer. I put some tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball to help clear the sinuses. Tea tree oil is another good antibacterial/antiviral agent, but can't be taken internally. High doses of Vit C, echinacea and extra amino acids seemed to help too. But most important for me was realizing that I had pushed my whole system prior to the holidays and now my body was telling me in no uncertain terms that it deserved a break, (along with a reason to chill out), and manifested this flu. So hold tight and get yourself a good book, hot tea with lemon and honey and relax.
To a healthy and happy Y2K!

I also have that "cough". I have upped my dosage and am going to bed. This has been gong on since Sunday. Just shoot me. Carol
