I have been struggling to get a post nasal drip to stop after I had a respiratory infection around two weeks ago. (sore throat, sore chest etc).
Normally, If I have a cold, it disappears totally in around 4-5 days. My trouble is that I do not seem to be able to shake this infection off.
I can go about my day to day tasks at work but have to go to the loo and do a loud nose blow around 6 times per day.
It's faurly thick and clear but with a slight lime colour. I'm also swallowing continually as I just cant deal with it another way in an office.
My energy levels are also not what they should be.
Can anyone offer good advice on what is causing this and what to take to clear it up?
I would prefer not to take sinutab and the like and would like to get to the root of the problem.
I'm taking plenty of vitamin C etc to fight it off but it does not seem to be doing the usual trick.
Thanks to anyone who may have some sensible or professional advice! :-)

Why is it that sugar is freely available to a greater majority of people, and if it makes most children are hyper active why is it that there is not public education on sugar and link to openly available drugs?

About 1 1/2 years ago I went to the ER with severe pain to the left of my back on the lower side (flank area) with the pain radiating around my hip and down my inside thigh. It sorta felt like spasms inside of me. My white blood cells were elevated so Dr. hospitalized me for IV treatment, released me the next day and directed me to attend therapy for my back. The pain continued so he decided to x-ray my lower back. The results showed that my left kidney was three times the size of my right and then ordered a MRI which reflected a good sized mass within my left kidney. My treatment pretty much stopped there. This was about a year ago. My pain has continued, usually lasts for 2 - 3 days at a time, stops, then resumes within a week or two, but it has not been as severe as that 1st occurance. Its more a dull irritating continual pain. Dr did tell me at one time that with kidney stones the pain is very very severe and that it doesn't involve pain that radiates down the thigh?

I work for a hotel and have alot of guests state that they need a non-smoking room due to being allergic to cigarette smoke. I was just curious if this is truly an allergie or are they blowing smoke themselves.

Sounds gross. It is. My ear hurt a long time when I went to my derm I got some cephalexin, so I figured it would kill the earache. Well it never did. I have puss on the Qtip when I swab. Some green colored ear wax... I flushed with peroxide and swabbed, a big scab came out. My ear was bleeding yesterday. It hurts bad and I already know I am going to the doctor tomorrow but why is there green in my ear now?

My best friend has a younger brother in 1st grade. I was visiting her today and her younger brother came home with a notice from the school or school district or whatever, saying that one of the students at the school he attends actually HAS meningitis. The notice recommended that he be tested for it, although I was told that the child with it was in a higher grade level, and that my friend's younger brother probably didn't come in much contact with him throughout his day at summer school (he has one class for four hours before he gets home). Still, is there a chance that I might develop it? My uncle was diagnosed with it a couple years ago, and he nearly DIED, which makes me really worried. Any help?

What can we do to get people to stop beleiving the myths that sugar alone causes Diabetes? It seems where ever I go a lot of people still hang onto the myth that sugar or eating something sweet causes Diabetes. These myths are not true even where I live the myths about Diabetes are still beleived.
