I've had a nagging cold since last Friday. Normally I go through the typical cold symptoms in three or four days and that's it, but this one seems to be lingering longer than normal. Nothing too horrible, just a constant dry cough and a stuffy head. I think I might have had a low grade fever on Friday, but fortunately all that nastiness is gone.
I try to be good - I get lots of rest, drink tons of water, OJ, and tea, but the longevity of this cold is annoying me. Especially since I'm supposed to fly on Friday, and there's nothing worse than burning sick time when you're *actually* sick.
The hydration and rest thing seems to be ineffective - I'm about to just say eff it and open a bottle of bourbon. I live with a doctor, but she's a surgical resident so all her suggestions involve cutting something off our out of me, while WebMD just tells me that I'll be dead in six months. Do you guys/gals have any good remedies?
