### input:
I got a small cold a week ago but I have asthma so it worsens and I wasn t able to cough up the stuff I was suppose to be. I had no stuffy nose. I went to the doctors and they put me on prednisone to help open up my airways along with an inhaler. I flew out to TX from Oregon last Friday and I fell asleep on the plane. I woke up after we landed and I had began to get a stuffy nose and I could not hear a thing. My ears unpopped a couple days later but I am still in great pain. My nose has also began plugged. I went to the doc again in Texas on Monday and I was told I have 2ear infections and bronchitis. I am schedueled to fly again on Friday back home. Was wondering if it will worsen ?

Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. If you have completed the antibiotic dose then there is no need to start again at the moment. I would suggest you to do following things:> take cetirizine one at night for 5 days.> take one puff of Xylometazoline HCl 0.1% in each nostril thrice a day for first 2 days, then twice a day for 2 days. Then stop.> acetaminophen for pain (if occurs)>> take hot water in a cup add 1 tablespoon salt. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it thrice a day for at least 2-3 days. It will give soothing effect to your throat> take boiling water in a pot, sit in front of it and cover your face and pot with a sheet. Inhale hot steam (do not get very close else it might cause burns). It will also give soothing effect to your airway. Hope this answers your question.
