Which cold symptom do you hate the most?

And no, this question doesn’t mean I’m trying to state that my cold symptoms are worse than yours.

Honest question… you have a cold, flu, whatever. It has the normal symptoms… runny nose, sore throat, cough, chill, dizziness, sneezing, maybe a rash, evil head growth, whatever. Which one is the worst?

Me, it’s the sore throat. I hate those. Mostly because everything else can be handled with some kind of medicine, or copious amounts of alcohol. But I have yet to find anything that takes the edge off a sore throat. Lozenges? Nope. Vicks? Try again. Advil Cold & Sinus? Don’t think so.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

So maybe in my next life I’ll start a bio-med company to make a medicine that actually works on a sore throat… not sure how, but something that actually frickin’ works.

    Gargle with salt water as hot as you can handle, Erik. Four, five times a day. It’ll work wonders, I promise.
