I live in NY but I had a cold where I had sneezing for three weeks and went through boxes of tissue, I felt awful afternoons and nights. I was good a few hours in the morning. My ears and glans hurt. The skin peeled off my very red nose and my vision was blurry from watery eyes. When this was done I had to cough a bit and clear my throat. This was the worse virus in a long time. My son caught it and my grandson...there's only lasted 10 days. Nothing much helped. I took benedryl and nose spray and tylenol. remember keep washing those hands I already take multi vitamins and calcium with extra c and d
