ok BF docs. here are my symptoms:
sinus pressure/pain
starting to get a sore throat
I woke up with one side a little stuffed up
how do I prevent this from growing into something worse?
(we don't have any ginger right now)
--Afrin, 2-3 puffs in each nostril twice a day. Best way to open up the sinuses. Make sure you only use it for 3-4 days.
--I'm a fan of Airborne--similar to zicam, and another mega-dose vitamin C/echinacea/zinc kind of product. I can't prove that it works, but it sure can't hurt.
Really, there's not much else you can do but ride it out... I have no idea what peroxide in the ears would do except fizz a lot in your ear. Sterilizing your outer ear isn't going to help.
