Can barely talk, but the throat pain has abated. Still coughing. I'll live. Thanks!

good to know... take care! My favorite remedy for a sore throat is hot brandy & honey. Don't know that it helps, but I feel no pain.

LOL...Well, it IS Friday...

Today was especially nice. I coughed up brown goo instead of yellow.

Go to the doctor... yellow is a sign of infection.
