Not much better, if at all.
I have coughed so much my throat is raw.
I would have a toddy, but we don’t have any “medicinal” in
the house! LOL! So I put a cough drop in my mouth instead.
Fever? Body ache.
If your back and legs ache it’s flu.
If they don’t it most likely a cold.
If no “medicine” in the house go for hot tea with lemon and honey....
And chicken soup.
