Comtrex vs. Sudafed

Maybe it's just time. Maybe it was the drugs.

One way or another, this %@#*% cold seems to finally be leaving my worn-out body. Last night was the first in a while that I didn't wake up several times coughing up a bunch of galas. Yeah, gross. At least I got some sleep.

So I'm going to analyze this a little. (Even though, as I'm still waking up right now, a lot of phlegm is thick and lodged in my chest, making its way up, if you know what I mean. Some Super Tiger Balm should loosen that up.)

Comtrex
I took this, the day-and-night orange and blue pills, for a few days. Helped some. But definitely not a major relief. More like a minor one for the sinus drip and coughing.

Sudafed (for severe colds)
This cost a little more $7.99 was is worth every penny. I started on Sudafed two days ago and the results are very good. Dried up my sinus area a lot faster, a lot better, and my night-time coughing all but disappeared.

Coupled with some Vitamin C (chewables), I feel like there's hope, finally.

So, if you're in the same mid-summer cold boat as I am, that's what I recommend. Sudafed. Vitamin C. Oh, and get to bed earlier than usual. At least 2-3 hours earlier.

I'm not 100-percent well yet, but I'm getting there now.

Sincerely,
Mr. Gag
