This is a whining thread. →[More:]I actually Googled, "remedies for bad cold". I know there is not a cure. Usually I'm okay with having a cold. That's life. This one is killing me. I am on day six and see no improvement.
It sucks. I am doing my daily activities but my energy is seriously lacking. At one point today I heard a slight wheeze.
I hate having a bad cough in public because I feel like I am infecting people. Today I had a work-related class in a small room. I washed my hands a lot and used hand sanitizer. I still fear that the person next to me is going to catch this hellacious cold. I stupidly took somebody's hand at a baseball game on Friday night. My kid hit a homerun and I absentmindedly grabbed my friend's hand -- after I was coughing into it all night. I hope she is not sick.
I hate Day-Quil but I'm seriously considering taking some now so I can make dinner and function for the rest of the night.
