There is a proverb in German that translates as:
Quote:
|
A cold takes 7 days to go away with medicine and one week without medicine.
|
A cold is usually due to a virus and you can't cure a virus with simple over the counter medicine, your body has to fight through it.
BUT you absolutely can make your life easier by making the symptoms less severe - there is no reason you need to have a headache or constantly cough and irritate your lungs further.
And I'm not saying drug yourself up with codein, just get some pain meds, cough drops and maybe a nose spray or I also highly recommend the Neti pot.
Or get hubby back in the business of putting your weed into pill/tincture form if that's your painkiller of choice - I can't imagine smoking helps with coughing.
Or you know just suffer so everybody sees how strong you are in your pain.
