Part 2

3)You might need to add something like Claritin or Claritine D if you are
truly drowning. Steer clear of Sinutab, which is too strong for singers.

Some doctors prefer the use of a mucolitic to keep things runny.
Claritin and Bisolven Linctus can be used at the same time (says my
long-suffering chemist!)

4) Diet (no Dairy)
Supplements (Beta-cerotine,, Vit C, Zinc, Echinacea, garlic)

5) Sadly, Antibiotics, when the above steps have failed. Keep them up anyway.

6)Oral Cortisone (watch out, singing feels completely different when you
are on them)

And to think that we do all the above so that we can sing beautiful songs
about SPRING! The mind and sinuses boggle!

And now a happy and vocal A.D. 2000 to all.
