What sucks about having a cold

Stuffy nose while sleeping: you try to clear that one nostril blowing your nose but as you toss and turn in your sleep the once empty nostril gets stuffed up while the clogged one drains.

Sore throat: whether it is laryngitis or pharyngitis it hurts to talk (laryngitis) or not talk (pharyngitis). Pharyngitis by the way is usually the pharynx that gets sore when having a sore throat.

Coughing: annoying as hell when getting chest pains from it. When this happens I fear that I may throw up my meds.

Being in constant relax mode: I like sleeping but not when I have somethings important to do (or else the procrastination kicks in).

So far what I'm doing to combat this: resting, hot tea with honey, steam showers, vapour rub/vicks, cold medications. Maybe I should try vodka and see how that works out.
