First time taking ibuprofen. That's amazing.

Somehow my throat is pain in the mouth[1]. Probably due to cold or flu or something I don't know. My throat is in pain even if I'm not coughing.

So I decide to take a pile of ibuprofen (which I bought months ago with no reason, just like to have some for spare). Guess what, it works and works pretty fast.

I'm glad I'm living in a time that medical is built on top of science, not eating this grass and see either you die or heal.

1: I was about to say pain in the *** but on a second thought I decide to not do that.

@skyblond@qoto.org But the soreness in the throat is a pain in the ass.

I think we probably have the same. I'm having a nice full blown cold now. Paracetamol is usually the way to go, but that won't help against the pain in my ears.

@trinsec Probably. This time the cold feels stronger than usual. So I bought a bunch of antibody tests, which, I'm negative on covid, FluA, FluB and MP (Mycoplasma pneumoniae). At the end of the day I consulted a doctor, and he said I probably just got a common cold.

Can't believe a common cold could mess me up like this :(

@skyblond@qoto.org It's always amazing that we keep thinking 'But last time it was not this bad!' ;)

(It was!)
