theraflu tastes horrible, but it works! At least for me it always does.  Plus I overdose on water when I'm sick, so make sure you do that too.

What's really killing me is the dryness of the air and the fact that I'm always either too hot or too cold.

Fortunately, the thing FEELS like it's receding, which is a start.

Put honey in it.
Hot tea with honey and lemon juice.  The acid breaks up the flem and the honey kills the irritation and pain of the throat.

Get helper monkeys to drink milk and spit that milky, sticky phlegm down the back of your throat.  That shit'll do wonders.

In theory, that's a good idea.  In practice, honey does things to my stomach that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, and hot tea is as hard to choke down as the theraflu was.

Right now, the phlegm is about 90% gone.  The only time my throat hurts is when I breathe through my mouth, and the only time I do that is when my sinuses are burning from the dry air.

Last night (this morning) I told myself I'd just live with the pain, but it was too intense to sleep through, which is why I'm up right now.

This exchange made me laugh more than it probably should have.
