Ricola!!!

I've irritated my throat with all my coughing.  I don't have an expectorant or suppressant,  but I found some Ricola cough drops that are probably three or more years old,  but they've been kept well and are still fine,  so I'm taking one before returning to bed.  Maybe that will help. I am so sick of this,  and it hasn't quite been 48 hours (although I did admit to my friend today that I've actually had milder breathing problems ever since the Pledge incident,  so what,  a week or two?)
