My DH had a terrible cold a couple of weeks ago. I thought I had dodged the bullet, but it hit me hard a couple of days ago. I seldom get colds but this one is a lulu. My throat feels like I've swallowed acid, my nose is running and when I cough it hurts my throat so much. I've been gargling with warm salt water and using menthol cough drops but I am still miserable. I did a little sewing yesterday before I gave up.I wouldn't wish this on anyone........ :x :thumbdown:
