    I would also say call your doctor and find out the best course of action. But other than that I would say make sure you are drinking lots of liquids- Water, hot cider (be aware of calories), decaf sf hot tea (add splenda if needed) and make sure you are taking your Vitamins. My Dr okayed me using the nasal sprays for stuffiness that has really helped me when I feel a cold coming on (I use 4-Way from the local pharmacy).

    Hope you are feeling better soon.

    Sounds like a potential allergy, but the doctor will advise you!
