Anyone?!?!?

What do you call a sudden involuntary expulsion of air from the nose and mouth due to irritation of the nostrils? The capillaries that reside near the surface (lamina propria) becomes extensively engorged and leaky? Lamina propria becomes distended with fluid, resulting in marked swelling of the mucous membrane with a constriction of the air passage? As a result, having breathing difficulty? That is exactly what I am feeling and facing now..What is the diagnosis? Any idea? Anyone? Loratadine 10mg/day doesn't seem to do any good..will Hor Yan Hor Herbal Tea work? Help!!!!!

Vitamin C is right... lots of it, rest and you should be alright after a few days... Alternatively, take a glass of brandy each day :) if you don't get better, at least you'll feel better...

take care...
