I should also mention that I'm desperate to get well before my short trip.
I woke Sunday morning with an itchy throat when I'd felt completely fine the day before. At first I thought it was just a tickle due to thirst, but as the day progressed, it got worse. My throat felt hot, scratchy and inflamed; when I cough, it really hurts and I can hear phlegm rattling in my lungs. In the evening, I began having a persistent nose drip.
I promptly dug out all the unused medicines from previous trips to the doc and popped 4 pills: for the throat, phlegm, lungs and the nose. I topped it off with Cofrem-5 herbal mixture.
Rick came home to find me under the blankets with the fan off. So far, I've had no fever, but my throat and inability to cough is excrutiating. I wonder where the germs could possibly have come from: I've not been out lately (just Thursday for my subbing test, but would it take so long for the cough/cold's onset?). And NO ONE else is sick or displaying any symptoms, just me.
This is really an irony. See, I hardly ever fall sick but despite loading up on Vit C and a women's daily multi-vitamin consistently in recent weeks, here I am with a bad bug. What the! I thought Vit C was supposed to raise one's immunity! Grrrrrrrrrr...
