*cough cough*
Hello Sylestians! IRL I have a horrible cold.
Very awful.
When I cough, it sounds like a dog barking, which makes my dogs' ears perk up. I sneeze too much, which hurts my nose. And now my nose is red. My dad even made an annoying song about my red nose:

"Sonya,
the red-nosed reindeer...
had a very shiny nose.."

Over and over and over again. :/
XD Then again, it's funny. Aaanyways...
That's just the start: Stuffy nose, coughing, sneezing, and my dad singing.

*horror music*
Then....
Medicine.....
The worst of all. My mom always gives me liquid medicine. I hate liquid medicine. Even when I hold my nose, I still taste it. When I was little, my mom always called medicine, 'yummy juice'. Not yummy at all.
At least the medicine I have to take now doesn't taste as bad, but it does have a horrible aftertaste. Bleh.
*sigh* I hope I get better by the time school comes back (It's a week long Fall Break that's over on Monday).
I hate missing school, 'cause the next day I'll have no idea what the class is doing... Any many other reasons (:

(By the way, my medicine tastes like overly sweet cough syrup. It doesn't sound bad, but trust me, it's disgusting.)

That's all for my rant! *cough*

Ugh, colds are the worst :P. Feel better soon!

Aww thanks! :D

*slightly hugs* don't get me sick XD

Have you tried any home remedy things? I get sick a lot so I know a couple things to possibly help your cold <3

If you have a humidifier that should keep your throat from getting to scratchy. Also vapor rub if you have any of that available.

A spoon full of honey *helps the medicine go down, couldn't resist*. But actually, if you have some honey, put some in a spoon and just let it slowly go down. Don't swallow, just kind of let it rest there. I've done this a lot for strep throat, colds, and tonsillitis.

Try some tea *I like using chamomile for some reason* or lemon water :)

Drink lots of hot things, or just basically anything. Keeping hydrated is a good thing :)

Prop your self up to sleep. Slightly inclining yourself can help so everything in your nose doesn't drain down your throat. *that sometimes can be why you have the barky cough*

If the back of your throat is hurting gurgling warm salt water can help break up bacteria.

Hot showers or baths *thumbs up*

^just leaving those there because medicine is the worst, specially liquid medicine *cringes*. Ask your parents if they would let you use any of those methods.


*hugs again* hope you get feeling better <3

I hope you get well soon!

feel better soon ^-^

And maby try some oinion juce (yup that sound disgusting but i swear it's better then medecine), that's realy good for the throat too. ^-^

Thanks everyone!~ <3
