Yikes... I wish you all a fast recovery...
What I hate most about these coughs is that MY VOICE DISAPPEARS! Like being with a cold for 2 weeks and a half and in the middle of it your throat gets sore, itchy, hurts to speak, and when you do... It's like swallowing SHARP TACKS! Then voice, poof, gone, I had to bring a pencil and paper to write down what i wanted to say.
Thank God I'm not in one and I wish you fast recovery, especially Unovi. May the force be with you.
