3. lots of sleep, that's been my entire weekend...
and yes, some medicine and fluids. And cold compresses. :(

I read that it was rare to get fevers with colds. Oh well. I'll get it checked out by a doctor if it doesn't go away. :)

9. Having a cold in the summer is the worst..
I have two down in my home right now. I am one of those really lucky people who hardly ever gets sick. Makes me the perfect one to take care of everyone else when they're down.

I hope you get feeling better soon!

sore throat. REALLY. Do it every few hours.

Lots of cool, not cold, fluids. Lots of sleep.

If you can handle warm fluids, chicken soup really is a good idea.

Room temperature/cool ginger ale for unsettled stomach.
