and I sometimes use a nasal spray at night so I can breathe while I sleep.
Often, what we call a summer cold is just an allergy to seasonal pollen. The antihistamines help me a lot.

Fever, sore throat, headache, generally felt lousy. Now I am left with just the tubercular cough.

I hope you feel better very soon!

No heat wave in NYC this entire Summer so far has got me fuming. Here's to a cooking hot August.

and i hope you have someone to take care of you. being sick and alone is the absolute pits.

no cold, but i've been having some wicked awful sinus pain off and on for about the last month. i am pretty sure it's because it's been a bit wetter this summer and it's happened before when we've had similar weather.
