Or what can be used to avoid getting a cold or prevent allergies?
**I was in a car accident last year and I broke my nose and some other bones and I underwent reconstructive surgery. The bones in my nose punctured my sinus cavity during the impact and, ever since then I get a lot of sinus infections and allergies. 8 infections this year alone. I have lost the ability to drain the bad stuff from my nose and since that is a problem any sickness i get ends up in my nose. Any help would be a great start. Thanks
What kind of natural medicines, remedies, ect are used to get rid of a cold or allergies?
