Anything containing Guifanesin (Mucinex, etc.) will break up congestion like a champ.

Also, if you don’t have one, invest in a neti pot. Used daily (especially at night!), they’re extremely effective for sinus and allergies.

Good luck, and hopefully you get some rest!

Answer by firephiter2000
there is NO over the caounter remedy that works for snoring.
I saw a device the other day, kind of like a mouthpiece you’d wear while playing football, that pulls your jaw slightly forward while you sleep, pulling your tongue from the back of your throat. If I’d have known about this BEFORE I had the UPPP surgery, it would have saved me about $ 3,000!!! I now have no uvula, but I don’t snore, nor do I have apnea any longer.

YES!! Sometimes I actually pinch his nose so that he then is forced to breath through this mouth and quit snoring!!

Question by BM22: Why does it still hurt? Help, how can I get over a tragic event in my life?
When I was 18, I witnessed my uncle having a massive heart attak.
It was winter 2008, my cousin and i were watching tv on the couch and my uncle was in his chair. We were deep into our show (greys anatomy) and heard my uncle making weird snoring noises. We thought he was joking, until he never answered us and something seemed seriously wrong!
I ran to my uncles side ans realized that he was having a really hard time breathing and he was not responding to me or my cousin.
Soon my First Aid training kicked in and I became a totally different person, as my poor cousin was watching her father have a heart attach right in front of us. I called 911 and his ex wife whom lived 12 minutes away. As i hung up the phone, I got my uncle on the ground off his chair, and felt that he wasnt even breathing and made sure he wasnt choking. I then realized what was going on and started the CPR. I remembered everything from the lessons.
1. making sure his airway was open
2. breathing into his airway
3. doing 30 chest compressions
and repeating the steps and making sure he wasnt breathing on his own again..
My Aunt arrived and tried to releave me from doing the compressions but she was not strong enough or in the right state of mind to do it so i pushed her out of the way…
still doing compressions for 25 minutes hoping and praying, waiting for the ambulance I realized that my uncle had passed away in my hands.
As the ambulance attendees got there they tried reviving him by using the paddles but they knew and just didnt say anything that he was gone. I was even helping the attendees get him onto the gurney and rushing him into the ambulance! As they left with my uncle and aunt. I waited for the ambulance to leave, I got into my aunts car and drove my cousin and I to the hospital 35 minutes away! not even keeping up with ambulance because i was in no state to drive at high speeds. praying with my cousin on the way to the hospital that the he will be alright.
getting to the hospital and being kept in a small room waiting to hear from my aunt and the doctor, nurses and the attendees kept asking me to speak to them and saying that I did an amazing job! So this gave me hope!
As the doctor and my aunt came out, from my aunts face i knew, and my cousin was bursting into tears. My uncle passed away!
Later that night leaving the hospital at 2:30 am, i drove my aunt and my cousin home to my aunts house, in the absoute worst snow storm of the year. Not being able to see 5 ft infront of the car.
Later I was up all night, not being able to sleep. while my cousin was trying to rest, and my aunt called her parents.
Calling my father was extremely hard because he and my uncle were best friends! explaining to him what happened was the worst thing ever!!

Still to this day I believe if I just did something more, I could still be with my uncle! For the longest time my relationship with my cousin was weird because I felt like she blamed me for not saving him or for doing something wrong.
I still carry this horrible feeling around with me, and honestly think about it everyday!
How can I get past this? I still sometimes cry silently at night before falling asleep so that my boyfriend doesnt hear me…
Please help..

Grief is a terrible thing and can last for a long time. Guilt sometimes comes and a lot of people will feel guilty thinking they could have done more, but really honey you did everything and more. I think because you saw him die that it has affected you more. Seeing someone die is horrible. Sudden death is worse. It is traumatic. I think you need to cry. Crying can help get some of it out. Then it builds up again and you cry more. Don’t try to be quiet, just cry. Trying to be quiet when you cry is an awful straining thing, not the cleansing, cathartic cry you need. Just explain to your boyfriend. I am sorry for your pain.
