Being a parent of a two year old, I know how challenging cold season can be. I hate seeing my daughter sick, so like any good mommy I cuddle and let her sniffle her germs all over me. As can be expected, I usually get sick while she is on the mend. I spend at least two weeks out of each winter season sick with a cold or the flu.

There is nothing I hate more than sinus problems. From not being able to sleep right at night because of a blocked nose to a fountain of germs constantly flowing out of my nose, sinus pain is a constant agony. I also suffer from allergies that make my eyes itchy, so when I have sinus problems they seem that much more painful.

I’ve tried everything to rid myself of sinus problems and even sought help online. Unfortunately, till now there hasn’t been a lot of ways to open up about sinus pain. That’s why I was excited to learn about Sudafed’s OPEN UP™ application on FacebookIt’s a great app that lets you make light of your sinus pain in a fun way. I used the application to sketch just how I feel when I’m all congested.

When I’m finally relieved it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. There is is nothing harder than being a parent while sick. I almost feel like throwing a party!

    Sudafed is the only thing that clears up my nose when I have a cold! We always have some at my house!

    There is nothing worse then a sinus headache except maybe one caused by a change of pressure in the air. Anything that can relieve those sinuses quickly I am all for! AND this info came just in time for sinus headache season!

    My mother always gave us sudafed when we were sick as kids, but for whatever reason, it made me really hyper, so I stopped taking it.

    We keep Sudafed on hand just for allergy season, it works quick.

    Used to be, I would take anything to help with my sinus congestion. Now, I don’t seem to have it but happy you found something that helps you.

    We have to have plenty of sudafed on hand during winter time as well. The allergies and sinus issues kills our immune system!

    I feel the same way when I get sinus; like someone has hit me with a hammer.

    Ugh, it is that time of year where sinus problems are going to start becoming an issue. I will need to remember to stock up on Sudafed when I go to the store this week. I hate not having any in the house when issues hit!
