Battling a Cold

Last Friday morning I woke up with a sore throat. We all know what this ultimately leads to: a cold! My co-worker gave my some Emergen-C (100% vitamin C supplement) and I was sucking on Halls defense drops.

Friday nights I host my 2-hour talk show on AM 1490 WDBQ live at TPC Sports Bar inside Mystique Casino and last Saturday morning, I had a live broadcast at Ubersox Auto Group in Platteville; not a good time to get sick!

My voice/throat cooperated with me just enough to make it through Friday night and, by Saturday morning through Sunday, I actually felt pretty good. I thought maybe I had stopped the cold right in its' tracks!

I was wrong! Monday, the symptoms started to intensify and by yesterday, I was talking Dayquil/Nyquil and going through my second box of tissues. I should've known better. While I do believe you can lessen the symptoms, I'm skeptical there's a way to prevent them altogether.

If you've managed to prevent a cold from developing once you feel the sore throat, by all means, PLEASE SHARE! Email jeff.robb@townsquaremedia.com
