cooling patch

Hubs is already getting used to seeing me around with this patch on my forehead.

My allergies are coming on and off these days, with only a not-so-effective nasal spray as remedy. The sneezing and teary eyes are absolutely uncomfortable. But the headaches brought about by my clogged nose are pure torture. And I absolutely refuse to take any kind of medicine for fear it would harm baby.

With the thought that normal headaches are more or less inflamed nerves and muscles, we thought of using these cooling gels, marketed to help lower down fever, to help ease the swelling. And so far, it sure is effective. Aahhh, thank goodness for cooling gels.
