i hate, detest, loathe and absolutely abhor sore throats...
1st of all, it takes more than a day to recover from them...
secondly, most of the time, it usually comes after a terrible sneezing fit, which in my case, was when i was on night shift on sunday... i was sneezing non-stop and eventually, when it finally calmed down, it morphed into a sore throat (might be caused by all the mucus going down the throat)...
lastly and most importantly of all, i can't swallow properly without experiencing acute pain, which means, i can't eat anything i like...
the funny thing was, i actually did feel better yesterday night... my sneezing had turned into full-fledged runny nose, but my throat had stopped hurting and it didn't hurt when i tried to talk or swallow... of course, i've taken my medicine b4 all this, so if i was still going worse, den the medicine should be flushed down the toilet... i juz couldn't comprehend why i woke up today with juz my left side of the throat in pain... thank goodness i took lozenges and it feels slightly better, at least, better enough that i can take my lunch with less pain... gonna drink coconut water later... took cab back home yesterday and the cab driver, very helpful person, advised that i drink coconut water... so after my visit to the doctor, i went to NTUC and lugged 4 coconuts back home... my throat did feel alittle better, but i'm still doubtful it's all the coconut water helping... but hey, next time anyone brings home coconuts and don't know how to open them up, come find me...
MC for today, hopefully i'll be in a much better shape to go to work tomorrow... thankfully, i'm only working half-day... so if i still feel wretched, i think i could still hang in there for half a day before i go back to rest more...
compared to sore throats and runny nose, i prefer to have just a normal fever... at least it'll recover with one day bed rest... ~_~.``
