Q: Dehydration can aggravate the symptoms of rhinitis and postnasal drip. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can cause dehydration. Water is the best choice to remain hydrated while suffering from rhinitis and postnasal drip. Look at your urine to determine if you're getting enough water during the day. If your urine is yellow, you're probably not getting enough water. If your urine is clearer, with at most a hint of yellow, you're probably drinking enough water. Drinking warm fluids, such as water, is especially helpful for relieving postnasal drip. Blowing the nose can remove irritants, which causes a buildup of mucus. For mucus that cannot be cleared after blowing the nose, some people prefer snorting and spitting the excess mucus from the back of the throat, avoiding bad breath and dry mouth. Over the counter saline kits and nasal sprays are available to rinse the nasal cavity. The saline solution flushes the irritants from the nasal cavity, thins the mucus and relieves the membranes in the nose. Try using a Neti pot to clear out the mucus in the sinus and the back of the throat. Be aware, however, that by using a sinus irrigation device you could be removing natural antimicrobial agents that get rid of enemy bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Apply 2 to 3 saline nasal drops every 2 to 3 hours to help moisten your nasal passages and relieve congestion. Try using Nasya oil 2 times daily as a way to relieve postnasal drip. Oral decongestants narrow the blood vessels to reduce the amount of congestion in the nasal cavity. Decongestants are also available in a nasal spray. If symptoms don't get better after 3 days, discontinue use of decongestants. Use of decongestants after 3 days may be more harmful than helpful because it may lead to rebound congestion. Medications such as guaifenesin (Mucinex) are sold OTC and taken in tablet or syrup form. These help to thin out the mucus and make it easier for it to run out. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for how to take this medications, and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. The physician can prescribe corticosteroid, antihistamine and anti-drip sprays to relieve postnasal drip. Corticosteroid sprays, such as Flonase and Nasacort, help to treat the swelling and inflammation in your nasal passages that occurs with allergic rhinitis. Antihistamine sprays can effectively treat allergic rhinitis causes of postnasal drip but are not effective for non-allergic causes.
A: Drink plenty of fluids to remain hydrated. Blow your nose frequently to remove excess mucus in the nasal cavity. Rinse the nasal cavity to remove mucus causing irritants. Use over-the-counter decongestants to relieve mucus buildup and postnasal drip. Use decongestants for only 3 days in succession. Remove mucus with mucus-thinning medications. Ask your doctor for prescription medications to relieve irritation and mucus buildup.

Article: Wear vinyl or latex gloves when you check for bedbugs. This can protect your hands from being bitten by live bed bugs and the gloves will prevent you from coming into contact with blood from smashed bed bugs. If you don't have any gloves around, wrap a plastic bag over your hand before looking for the bed bugs. Adult bed bugs are around 14 inch (0.64cm) long and they have 6 legs. A bed bug that's recently fed on blood will be bright red and round. Once it digests the blood, it will turn a darker brown color and become flat. If the bed bug hasn't fed in a while, it will be a pale brown color. Since bed bugs feed on blood, they can leave behind red or rusty stains if they get smashed. The color may be bright red if the bed bug was recently crushed or the stain may be dark if the bed bug was smashed a while ago. The stains might look like single drops of blood or there will be smears and streaks. Bed bug excrement will look like very small black spots (about this size: ). The excrement can stain the fabric that's underneath it, so you may see dark streaks as well. You should also look for small pale white eggs that are around 1 millimetre (0.10cm) in size. You may also see pale skins that the bed bug nymphs shed as they grow larger.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Put on gloves to protect your hands. Identify small bed bugs that are red or brown. Look for red stains from crushed bed bugs. Check for bed bug eggs and excrement.

Problem: Article: It is often easier to catch chickens at Nighttime. Chickens roost at night, making them less mobile and easier to catch off guard. If you have a coop you can catch them after they roost for the night on the roosting rods. If a chicken has escaped, find where it is roosting and catch it there. You should try to be as quiet and gentle as possible. Avoid making too much noise or sudden movements. Point the light towards the ground. If you are in the coop and shine the light directly at the birds on the roosting rod, you risk waking or startling them. Approach the chicken slowly. You can do this slowly and gently without disturbing the whole coop. Cup your hands and grab the chicken over the wings. This will prevent the chicken from flapping its wings and disturbing the other birds. Hold it close to your body tightly, like you would a pet.
Summary: Consider waiting until Nighttime to catch your chicken. Approach the chicken quietly with a flashlight. Grab the chicken.

Q: If your ham turns out to be overly salty, you can diminish some of the saltiness by serving it with dairy products like cheese, sour cream, or cottage cheese. The dairy products will help counteract the salty flavor of the ham. Try chopping up the ham and cooking adding it to scalloped potatoes. Add salty ham to an omelet with cheddar and vegetables for a quick breakfast or lunch. Acid can help mask the salty flavor of ham. If your ham is too salty, consider drizzling a little lemon on it to help mask the ham's saltiness. Make sure you only use a tiny amount and no more than a tablespoon for the entire ham. Rub the lemon juice on the outside of the ham and let it sit for about 15 minutes before serving. You can also try white vinegar to help mask the saltiness. Taste the ham after fifteen minutes. If it is still too salty, allow the vinegar or lemon juice to soak in for another ten to fifteen minutes. If you are dealing with leftover ham that is too salty, you can still make use of it by using less. For example, if you are adding the ham to a soup or stew, use two-thirds of the amount called for in the recipe. This can help cut back on the salty flavor while still allowing you to make the most of your leftovers.
A:
Serve it with dairy products. Add a little lemon juice to cooked ham. Use less ham in the recipe.
