Consequences and brillant water

I reap what I sow. Apparently, there has this flu bug (and with a really nasty sorethroat inducing ability) has been rampant in my household. tayye caught this virus on the first day. I was complacent, overestimated my own immune system, that lead me to consume an excess of bakwa, pineapple tarts as well as fried food over the entire duration of CNY. and now, I bear it's full consequence. A full-fledged, highly potent sore throat.

Goodies, has a good name, but probably a self-contradicting, ironic one

Thanks to that, percentage yield of sleep was horrible. There was not one moment I was in deep sleep. trickling saliava down the throat causes immense pain, bearable only to the slightest extent.Again, I wouldn't say I have a high capacity and tolerance for pain. But it seems to be that this bug attacked the most vulnerable part of the throat and that is where every single droplet of saliava will have to meet.

Horrible.

Sore throat, IMO is probably one of the worst type of flu-causing effects. I can handle vommiting, headache, stomach ache or running nose. What irks me most of that sore throat is entirely present in the entire course of illness. Unlike the rest, which happens at intervals. Just by knocking oneself out with several panadols will be sufficient to seal the negative painful effects of other symptoms. However, there's just something about having sore throat is that it strikes the best at night. When one is asleep, plaegm accumulates in the throat, and that engulfs the wounded throat, causing it to hurt constantly.

While 'asleep', it felt as if I was subconsciously asleep, but consciously taking damage from the inflamed area of my throat. A knife slashing your throat as you sleep, that's 'wonderful'.

Im feeling better now. Alot. After taking medicine and constantly wetting my throat with water. It seems like water is superbly brillant. It sort of lubricates my throat, causing the saliava not to hurt it. (sorta). Ive drank 2 litres in merely the last hour, and it's getting alot better.

I had a post halfway done yesterday by the laptop died on me. So im not publishing it
