Common Cold?
1> Don't take it to work with you!
2> According to Mrs Hat, men don't get colds, they get the flu (as a minimum) rapidly worsening to double pneumonia.
3> The sore throat (according to my friendly MO) is not usually the result of a throat infection, but is often caused by the sinuses (sp?) or nasal passages continually leaking mucous into the throat (nice!).
4> Notwithstanding 3, above, I have always found the best throat treatment to be DEQUACAINE (Not Dequadine). I think this is the only over-the-counter treatment that has a local anaesthetic (Benzocaine) and it really works! (No I am not on commission!). Give it a try. Although it won't cure the other symptoms, you should at least be able to swallow the Whiskey suggested by Vage.
