I have had a cold/runny nose for a few weeks now. Its getting worse day by day and sleeping at night is a nightmare come true! My nose is blocked so i have to breath though my mouth which gives me a sore throat.

I have a runny nose a lot, and however much i blow it, it keeps running.

Have i got a cold or the flu?

Can i do something to get rid of this, as i cannot go through winter with this.

Thanks

Firstly, sleep on your side, when I sometimes get colds which block up my nose this leaves one nostril free for breathing. Secondly, try one of those menthol oils like Olbas Oil, although there are cheaper equivalents. Sprinkle some on a handkerchief [next to your pillow] or on the pillow itself.
