Man, the last few days my throat has been killing me, usually starting with some pain in the morning, getting better through the day, then changing to severe pain by the evening. Today it is really bad. I feel like I am losing my voice too. I have awful post-nasal drip, and occasional headaches. It is most likely allergies, which have been getting worse and worse every year older I get. I wish it were a cold or flu, because then it would go away.
I guess I'll need to try out the new over-the-counter Zyrtec.
