A cold

[magid]

This one is not usual. It started with a sore throat, sure, but it developed into a dry, hacking cough that feels like it's farther in my chest than regular colds (which for me usually start in the nose, then sometimes gain a cough of productiveness, perhaps due to nasal ick having gone somewhere other than out). Then in the last few days, there's been a runny nose, but mostly not with the usual colors of ick, just regular clear. The cough hasn't ebbed, nor become less dry. I've gotten to the point that I'm tired of consuming hot water (for some reason, it appeals more than tea. Or I'm just lazy.), so I've tried hot foods, both in temperature and spiciness, to relieve the soreness. Which work, but I don't like having that as a consideration for what I want to eat. No fever, at least, but I'm ready for this to end.
