I am miserable. Â For the past several days I have had increasing congestion and runny nose, accompanied by increased sneezing. Â At first I thought it was pregnancy rhinitis (which I didn't even know existed until a few days ago). Â However, this is more than just a little congestion. Â At night the drainage makes my throat and ears hurt, but that goes away once I've been awake for a while. Â I do have some coughing when the mucus gets built up in my throat. Â My mucus is completely clear, and everything I've read says that it would be yellow or greenish if I had a cold or something else. Â I have a ton of sinus pressure.
Â
I figure it can't be allergies because everything where I live has been covered in snow and ice for days.
Â
I drink bone broth daily, and will increase it just in case. Â I've also been using the neti pot, but frequently one nostril is so completely clogged that nothing gets through with the neti pot, so I just give up sometimes.
Â
Do you think I have a cold? Â What else can I do to feel better?
