Chicken soup, and orange juice

I have a sore throat, and a headache. Hope it is not the newest version of that pesky virus.I do not have a fever or chills. My throat is sore enough that coffee felt bad going down. Then I remembered I had some chicken noodle soup my sister had bought. It was her cure for most everything. I also drank some orange juice, in spite of the burn. I sent hubby to the bedroom to find a Cepacol lozenge. No such luck. Instead he brought me a Dove dark chocolate heart. Popped it in my mouth, wrapped up in a blanket and sat in a cozy chair beside him, while he was reading. So I got an extra nap. I had slept nine hours last night without waking. There are many things I want and need to do here at home, in spite of my symptoms. I will go to church, but wear a mask and not shake hands tomorrow. We have to go pick up prescriptions in that town, so we had best go. I think I have some elderberry syrup in the fridge. I will do that remedy next.

I hope your ailment is not a new strain of the 'pesky virus'. Good luck with that. Hope the elderberry syrup helps.

Well, without a fever, I am reasonably certain it is not, but you never know unless you test.

I hope you'll be rid of this soon, nothing is worse than having a cold or something.

I feel a bit like a whiner. I am not really sick enough to worry about, just enough to be uncomfortable.

Colds and viruses usually last a week to ten days, so I am well on my way. I first got the sore throat Wednesday evening. Not bad then but it has gotten a bit worse. Today, Sunday, I took a nap.

If you don't feel well, you can also consider to take a pill and it will be helpful. Of course natural food will be good for you but it will spend some time to work. I hope you will get well soon.

Some pills help, others do not. I do take some cold medicine now and then.

I was not consistent with it. The sore throat eventually went away but now it acts like I have a sinus infection.

It definitely sounds like you're fighting off something. Your body probably needed that extra rest.

I think I would have passed on church. Not only to get extra rest but to not pass the creeping crud along to others.!!! I hope you feel better soon!
