DH had a cold two weeks ago. He isn't the typical "man cold" kind of guy. He took his drugs, had a few extra naps, and didn't complain much.
The following week (when I had 2 weddings and 5 other cake orders to do) my throat started with the scratchy. It seemed to settle in my lungs, and I really only had a cough by Sunday. So I've been making do this week with the cough, and only last night took some cough medicine to help me sleep.
But this morning? The sneezing started. WTF?
My head feels like it is packed with cotton....and all I want to do is nap. But I have work to do....sigh.
So I'll go do as much as I can, but then I'm napping baby!
Why is this cold backwards? Don't the sniffles and stuffy nose come first and the cough second? Ack!

Summer colds suck. They just do. The worst ones according to me and the history of colds is when you are BETTER and the whole thing starts all over again. Then the bronchitis sets in and you get really sick.
I abhor Earl Grey tea. I have had it when pregnant (decaf) and it honestly made every ache and pain go away when I couldn't take any cold meds. I had about 3 mugs of it and it made the pain symptoms go away. (Sneezing and other stuff no) but the pain was gone. That's my only advice.
Feel better soon.

Sorry you aren't feeling well. Hopefully it will pass quickly.

Yep, they suck! Woke up two days ago with a sore throat. Throat iis still soar, my right ear hurts BAD! and I generally feel like crap. Yep, summer colds suck! (Although one could possibly argue that August in Norway is "fall" not "summer", but still.....)

Be careful. Just this time a couple of years ago my husband had a cold that turned into bronchitis, followed by pneumonia. We were surprised it got so bad in the heat of the summer. His doctor told him most people don't expect it and that's why it can get out of hand so quickly.

I have to admit that I'm glad to hear that I'm not "the only one"!! My usual miracle remedy failed me and I have a full blown cold that is now slipping into my chest. My head is actually clearer (blessing) but I cough like a 4-pack-a-day-60-year-old-smoker -- which is completely disgusting.
This morning was okay -- but I am really needing the "sag wagon" right now.

I haaaaate summer colds! I am on my SECOND bout with bronchitis this summer. Never had anything like this happen to me before. I'm hot, but having a fan or the AC blow on me just makes me cough more.
So I feel your pain, and if it goes on too long, get in to see your doctor and make sure it's not developing into something worse, okay? Feel better!

At the first sign of my throat getting tingly I take Zicam and it goes away. You really should be careful since you're making cakes for people, don't want to get them sick.

My son is recovering from pneumonia, which followed his bout with the flu. Crazy!
Feel better!
