Ears, ears n flu bugs

[crazycanuck]

I haven't swum since early june... but the ear thing isn't from swimming. THis is more inside & I thought i might be able to drain some if i solely slept on my right side last night. Nope. I feel better but the ear doesn't.

I have been taking Sudafed PE over the course of this week but have to limit the amount (directions say not to use if driving etc) as I have errands to run etc.

I do have one more qu...I purchased some "Breathe Easier" essential oil blend (corn mint, eucalyptus and thyme)from a health food store & tried to use it this afternoon but found it wayyy overpowering. Is there a secret to the head over bowl of hot water method?

I'm visiting my coolio dr tomorrow.

Thanks!
