That's what "upper respiratory infection" is, anyway.

Mine's just dug in for the duration.

Actually, I'm glad I don't have a sinus infection or bronchitis since after two different drug reactions I'm not really eager to play the "try out this antibiotic" game again.

So I have "Fluticasone" for my nose (the doctor looked at my throat and said he could actually see the drainage—ew) and "Cheratussin" for my cough. The latter has codeine in it and the pharmacist said, "Don't drive while you're taking this." Oh...joy. The side of the bottle is ominous: "May cause dizziness. May cause drowsiness." The paper included even more so, with a list of allergic reactions you could have. I remember when I was never afraid of these things. ::growl::

Maybe I should just take one teaspoonful instead of two right now, just in case, until James gets home? A friend of mine has rather violent allergic reactions—the "throat is swollen shut; call 911" variety—and I worry having one of those. One thing I do not want to do in my life is end up like one of Dr. House's intubated patients. [wry grin]

Bother.
