Winter Illnesses - ugh!

Options
Well, my darling children managed to pass on to me their lovely cold. The right side of my throat is swollen so bad that I can't quite hear out of my right ear and when I blink I get a little bit of vertigo.

This always seems to happen when I up my workouts. I'm hoping if I lay low tomorrow I can get back to it, because I signed up to run a 5k on Thanksgiving and I need all the training I can get!

    Drink plenty of water, take a multi-vit if you haven't yet, and get some rest! Hope you are feeling better soon.

    I like Zicam or Emerg-C, they really seem to shorten a cold. I am use to getting at least 3-4 sinus infections a winter. I just had sinus surgery this past summer and I hope that will help!
