You can try some homeopathic or herbal remedies. Zinc lozenges, golden seal, echinacea, or that nose spray that is supposed to shorten the duration. Doesn't sound bacterial, probably viral--drink lots of fluids (orange juice).

Don't worry, I had that earlier this year and I got it taken care of at student health (erythromycin + guiafen + epinephrine + singular to control bronchiospasm). The leader of my mandatory section wouldn't even excuse me, even after I was diagnosed, so I still hope I made nobody else sick!

Seriously, though: if you're sick, see a doctor. If you're a med student, you don't have all that much time to be really sick. My MS1 year I had a bad cold, and by the time I was totally better I had suffered through conjuctivitis + sinusitis + bronchitis + pneumonia. At least I know what an expiratory wheeze sounds like.

Wrap a hot towel around your head.

yes i have had a cold before. just thought someone might have a nice little tip to make it go away before it starts to interfere with my stressful/hectic school life. for real though, some of the comments so far have been helpful, some have been funny, and some of you are just plain dinguses. i hope medical school teaches you how to be nice before you start seeing actual patients.

That's not mean. Fetal alcohol syndrome and prenatal heroin addiction -- that's mean.

 

[Dancing Nancie]

I once thought I had mono for a whole year. Then I realized I was just really bored.
