It's cold and I have a cold.
It all started a couple of weeks ago. First, I had a sore throat and felt a chill. I went to a chemist and bought a medicine for colds. After taking the medcine for a few days, I felt much better, but then my husband became ill. He said that he caught a cold from me, so I gave him my medicine. A few days later, while my husband got better, I started coughing. My husband said that that's because I stopped taking the medicine before my full recovery. We both took the medicine for a few days and finished the pack. During the next few days, we were both well, and even went to the gym to do some exercises. However, my husband came back home very late last Saturday when it snowed and was very cold. He started coughing and seemed ill. He went to the chemist on the next day and started takig the cold medicine again. And, guess what? Since this morning, I have a sore throat. Boy..., when can we get out of this negative spiral?

When one is ill...it is better to sleep in a different room until you are recovered. Don't share items...be sure to disinfect the keyboard also...if your spouse uses it after you.
ReplyDeleteI generally try to stay away from medicine unless I must go to work...or if I need to sleep. I stay in bed and rest otherwise...I want to run a fever...unless it gets too high. A fever lets the body fight the infection more effectively.
I also eat plenty of spicy noodles with lots of broth. Dress warmly in a sweat suit and allow yourself to sweat profusely...all the while...drink as much fluids as you can stand...then more.
Get well.
Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, we live in a typical Japanese small apartment and it is difficult to stay away from each other.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know spicy noodles are good for colds, but that sounds good.
Anyway, I feel better today. Thanks very much for your message.
