I have a cold/sinus thing going on w/ lots of pressure/ with a productive cough. what can i take to reduce my symptoms and can i run my race on sat.

Cold: If it is an acute problem within the last few days it could be cold, if going on for more than 4- 6 wks it could be related to allergies. In either way try to reduce the secretions with over the counter antihistamine, and may be fluticasone nasal spray. If having fever or colored phlegm may need antibiotic for possible bacterial infection.
