Got a cold

[Gallatea]

So I've been sneezing a lot the last couple of days (sudden and single, but wet HA-TTTCCHHEEWs), more than I usually sneeze. I thought it might be allergies because the weather has been warm and dry, but this morning I woke up with a swolen and sore throat and my nose was all stuffed up. I haven't sneezed much yet today, even though it feels tickly, but I have blown my nose several times. I've loaded up on soup and tissues, took some cold medicine and spent all day in bed, but am not feeling much better. I can breathe through one nostril, though, so that's improvement. My body is aching so I hope this isn't the start of the flu bug that's been going around. 

I'll post any obs that come my way, but for now, peace y'all.

I'm sorry to hear that you have a cold Gallatea and I hope you feel better, but thanks for sharing your obs.

Thanks  So I spent most of Saturday in bed, nursing my cold, but then totally overdid it today. I went with a friend to a comic signing event in my area and ended up spending most of my day on my feet, waiting in line. My Dayquil wore off halfway through and I subsisted on adrenaline and the pocket tissue pack I brought. Luckily, I didn't sneeze that much, aside from a couple tickly Ahh-TCCCHIEEEWs that I directed into my elbow. It was mostly blowing on occasion and sounding vaguely nasal and hoarse. 

 

Now though, after showering and laying down, I have the chills and my body aches again.  Worried I overdid it. My nose is stuffed on the left side and is running, driving me crazy. I try to blow my nose, but it doesn't move muxh of anything. Just honks. I'm hoping my sleep tonight will resolve this cold of mine.
