I've had a runny nose for the past two days and my throat feels so sore every time I swallow, so I went to the hospital today. I was so worried that it might be the flu, but thankfully it wasn't, so I was relieved. They gave me some nasal drops and prescribed me 5 days' worth of oral medication... These days, I'm getting older, so when I catch a cold, I don't get better even with medicine, and it's so hard. I thought an ENT would be more effective than an internal medicine doctor, so I visited an ENT doctor this time. I hope I get better soon. It's so hard and painful because I keep coughing up phlegm. I hope I get better soon and go back to my normal lifestyle.
