how do you get rid of a cold in a day? Sneezing, stuffy nose and some coughing here and there.

I get very congested in the winter, and also have some mild allergies to my cats. I can't take decongestants b/c of my heart rate, so do you have any ideas of either:
1. Prescription or over the counter medicines that work and are not decongestants
or
2. Any home remedies that work

PS..I do plan on seeing my doctor, but would like some perspective before I go in.

I have tried drinking a lot of vitamin C, it helps the sore throat but the coughing won't stop. This happens to me almost every year. This year, it's so bad that when I choke on water I can't breath when coughing and then tears stream out from my eyes. And when I find something funny, I start coughing for half a minute or so. Is this a throat problem that can be cured?
But I don't have any problems when talking or singing.

any professional advice is graciously appreciated.

I've heard the first time you get stung by an insect, like a bee or wasp, you'll have a normal/mild reaction, even if you happen to have an allergy to the venom. It's the SECOND time you get stung by the same insect that your immune system goes haywire and makes an allergic reaction. And each sting after that, the reaction is either the same level, or worse.

Is this true, or is it possible to have a semi-bad reaction the first time? I'm just curious, because when I was stung by a wasp, I had a normal reaction, nothing allergic. In fact, it was extremely mild! :) At first I was pleased, but then I realized that who knows? I might have a BAD reaction the second time. Is there ANY way to predict, or any clues after the first sting, that you're going to develop an allergic reaction next time? (I don't like the feeling of playing Russian Roulette!)

For what it's worth, I have no allergies to medications, latex, chemicals, etc. Just raw pineapple and raw walnuts!

How are allergen extracts created into allergy serums for immunotherapy such as allergy shots. What is the actual manufacturing process regarding collection, filtration, purification, concentration and quality control of allergy serums.

I was wondering if anyone had any natural allergy relief solutions.

I've been taking Claritin all summer, but I've recently developed what we believe to be an allergy to antihistamines which resulted in a few trips to the hospital.

The doctors told me not to take any antihistamines or decongestants until we figure out exactly what is wrong. When I asked them for alternative ways to relieve the sinus pressure, they told me to just deal with it.

Any suggestions?

Hi I have been wearing gold rings for years, but a few years ago I started having a problem with the ring I wear most, the wedding ring, I have to keep removing because I come out in sores underneath it.
I have had the ring made bigger, still no change,
I take the ring off to wash, as to make sure my finger, and the ring is dry before putting it back on.
Sometimes I only have it on for three or four hours, and I have to remove it, any ideas on why I am having this problem, and what I can do to stop it.
Thanks

Aside from the obvious of keeping windows closed, especially during high pollen count days, can anyone kindly explain exactly how AC lessens allergy symptoms. I have heard AC 'cleans' the air; the coolness helps allergies, etc. Is this true?
I have never seen a more detailed explanation and was wondering if there is one? I try to explain to others that AC does help but seem to lack details as to why. Thanks for your help!
