As expected, I would start the day with a sore throat. But with my reflux playing up, it had been a rather rough night. I hard had much rest, and decided to get out of bed by 5 am, took my paracetamol, read some blogs and have an early start. I was at the hospital just after 7, and heavy traffic was the last thing I needed.
The sore throat got a bit better after some fluids, but, by the time I was done with the rounds, it played up again. Now, I have no voice. I might just lay low during the afternoon clinic.
According to my ENT colleague, the dispersible paracetamol works wonder with sore throat. I picked up a few from the pharmacy, and my try when I'm due for more medications later on in the morning. I haven't started coughing as yet, so, I decided against wearing a mask. That would be attracting too much attention I think.
