I'm right here in the boat with you.

Some kind of hot drink is nice. The whiskey warms up the chest too. Hot showers are helping. I'm using the "boiling a frog" approach to getting the steamy water steamier as I normally can't tolerate hot showers. And my new friend is a sinus irrigator, kind of like if a neti pot and a WaterPik had a baby. Battery operated pulsed water up the schnozz (using the premix packets of course). It's helping to get the gunk out.

This is all in addition to liberal cough syrup and mucinex and Halls and Sinex.

I may need to give up and go to the doc.

Ok, I did a telehealth appt and got a Rx for antibiotics. Easy peasy.
