Preventing an ER Visit

I developed a really scratchy, itchy throat last Monday. Then, I got a cough. And it got worse in a hurry. The last time it got that bad that fast, I ended up with pneumonia. So I went to Redi-Med and demanded some antibiotics. I got a Z-pak and some cough syrup that was VERY relaxing, if you get my drift. I hate feeling so unmotivated, but it's nice to have the time to stay all day in bed if I want. Saves money, too!
