I've been drinking soup with hot chili oil - trying to burn it out.
lol.....I think all the things you are trying would have made me puke by now. Hope you get over this soon. What a way to celebrate your birthday :-(
Hey Dash -
sore throat? laryngitis? Are you coughing yet?
Had that right before Christmas. Developed into brochitis/borderline pneumonia in 4 days.
You need antibiotics. My day tried the cold remedies and had it for over 3 weeks (until he went to the doc and got drugs). I got the antibiotics and it was over 2 days after I started them.
Hope you feel better!
