Today, I've been sick with both a chest cold and a sore throat. As a result, I've also been dehydrated, causing me to have a headache. Whenever I cough, I feel like my throat is being ripped apart and my head is about to explode. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after blacking out from fever, I found out that the reason I've been feeling so sick is that I've somehow come down with pneumonia, strep, and the common cold all at the same time. FML
Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML
Today, I'd finally had enough of feeling awful and went to urgent care. As it turns out, the reason my throat was sore was because I have a sinus infection. The doctor explained my nose is producing pus, and that's what I'm swallowing and coughing up. Yuck. I also have pink eye on top of that. FML
Today, I'm sick with the worst head cold of my life. For some reason whenever I cough, I also fart. Everyone thinks I'm just trying to cover up flatulence with fake coughing. FML
Today, I woke up with really sore abs; not from working out at the gym, but because I've been coughing for 3 days straight and nothing is helping. Now every time I cough, it physically hurts. FML
Today, I had a cold and was vomiting. I sneezed really hard, smacking my nose onto the toilet seat. I woke up a few minutes later with my nose bleeding, painful, and still stuffy. FML
Today, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. As my boss is an asshat who hates allowing sick leave, I thought I could power through it, but halfway through my workday I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. I had to go home early and now I can't move without pain. FML
Today, I have a tooth infection that's spread to my jaw and ear. It hurts so badly that I'm practically in tears. Today's also the day I found out I'm allergic to the medication I was prescribed. Everything hurts, I'm covered in hives, and I can't stop throwing up. FML
Today, I'm stuck in bed with a fever, aches, and nasty cough. My kids and husband had it too, and kept coughing without covering their mouths, despite my asking several times so I wouldn't get sick. FML
Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML

Get Well Soon op. Biggest thing :- Stay hydrated!! Dehydration headaches aint fun!! To help ease cold symptoms my Mum always swore by hot water, lemon juice and honey with a titch of ginger; of course the good ole chicken or onion soup! Don't laugh but I discovered that chopping an onion in half and placing on a plate chopped side up by your bedside helps too - apparently it draws out toxins as you sleep, my kids swear by it, and to get a teenager to agree with you on anything.....

I try to keep Listerine around for sore throat issues. If caught early, it helps. I have read on Earth Clinic website that Cayenne Pepper helps with sore throats. There are probably some recipes on there that may help. Good Luck!!

We've all been there. Not a big deal tbh, you're grown up and it shouldn't be your first time.. Get well though :)

My little sister puked for eight hours straight on Christmas Eve, and then I caught the same damn thing and puked for five hours, not to mention I missed my time and a half pay for working holidays because I couldn't make it to my second shift. Things could be a lot worse OP, just have some chicken soup and water.
