Sore Throat and a Stuffy Nose
Tuesday 17th October 2006 07:36:11 PM
I didn’t get much sleep today because of a really bad sore throat and stuffy nose, I think the change of weather and the amount of fizzy drinks I consume is catching up to me.
I only slept for a few hours and after that kept waking up every half hour because my throat was killing me (I didn’t know a sore throat could hurt so badly). For the first time ever I was awake before mum and even heard her telling the girls to wake up for sehri, she doesn’t wake me up anymore because of the slow response rate she’s likely to receive.
Around that time I texted a mate to let him know I won’t be going Uni and not to wait up. I was surprised to receive an instant reply, apparently people are up and running so early in the morn. I don’t think I could ever do that.
I lie in bed for couple of hours and then make my way downstairs and tell mum why I haven’t gone Uni. She doesn’t say much. I tell her I’m taking some medicine for the sore throat and she’s like “NOOO!” this was no ordinary response, more of a “don’t you dare break your fast” kinda thing. I thought you could break your fast if you were ill, obviously not ill enough.
So I spent the day lying in bed, surfing the net (which led to headaches but so what), and then got bored of doing nothing and decided to have a shave. I think I must have spent an hour and a half shaving out of sheer boredom. I know I can’t believe it myself.

Honey mixed with some lemon juice works wonders for a sore throat..it always helps me and also gargle a lot with salt water...hope u feel better soon :-}
Thanks for the well wishes Alina, haven't got any honey or lemon juice but did find some h+l flavoured cough syrup. Guess that'll have to do, if not, a trip to the supermarket will be required. Once again thanks for the tip ;-)
