3 Days Down (and counting). Health is Wealth

I've been hit by the bug.

Ohhh... it's the most gruesome feeling! Been in bed for 3 days now with bitter pallette, scratchy throat and painful muscles!

I cannot remember the last time I have been sick like this. I am not a sickly person, thanks God. So this is something uncommon to me.

It started last Tuesday when I felt my throat was itchy. Immediately, I went on water therapy. I even made lemon and ginger tea. But nature had other plans. When I reached home, I started shivering and got feverish so I took a couple of Panadol. Fever broke, only to come back again in the morning. I took a day off to rest, hoping that the fever will go away. When I woke up on Thursday, I was not any better. Even so, I lost my voice!

So I decided to visit the doctor.

She said it was allergy- my throat was bumpy, indicative of allergy.

She prescribed me more paracetamol and a bitter tasting cough syrup! She also requested for blood tests to ensure that there were no other infections. I will see her again tomorrow for the results.

This tea soothes my throat. It is made of ginger extract. I add a squeeze of lemon for more kick. Hah! That feels better!

Know for its antibacterial properties, honey is also a great home relief for sore throat. Here, I combined honey, lemon and a dash of cinnamon. Its sweetness is also a great neutralizer for that bitter cough syrup.

Due to my bitter pallete, I am also unable to eat anything. Hub @kennyroy has kindly bought me these fruits. The tangy taste of the fruit has made it easier for me to take it. (My Little One just woke up and saw the grapes. Oh well, goodbye, grapes!) Haha

Health is wealth.

I know. Cliché as it may be, but it is true. I am not able to play with my kids. I am unable to cook for my family. 2 days off from work too. Which means tons to catch up with on Sunday.

My kids keep on asking when my voice will come back too. Like every few minutes. Lol

That's it for me, for now... I need to drift off a bit more. Hopefully this will go away soon and nothing abnormal is there with my blood tests.

Stay healthy,
