I don't know if it is coincidence or not, probably, but last night I drank some Bailey's Irish Cream on the rocks. It was so soothing for my raw throat. At 5:30 am, my high fever broke. Dragging fatigue and cough remain but everything else seems to be improving. Still have fever but not the high fever I have had for the last four days. My throat will finally tolerate juice and I have been guzzling, when I have not been sleeping. Thanks all for the info and support. I have never had a flu shot because I can recall only one other time in my life having the flu. This is a wake up call as to how rotten and dangerous it is. I may re think getting a flu shot next year!
