Maybe only 6 on a scale of 10

It's just a cold, but my throat hurts and all my efforts to soothe it are leaving me over-caffeinated, and wear off quickly. (Well, almost all: the hot lemonade seems to have been merely pointless.)

Commiseration and extreme sympathy. My throat's killing me.

When I had the sore throat from hell the last few weeks, the only thing that felt at all good was hot chocolate. Many sympathies and I hope yours passes soon.

Try some of those odd teas in the little tins, green teas have much less caffeine.

Also, it's this situation that Dr Stuart's Elderflower and Lemon (four cups yesterday) was made for. I can now buy this in Montreal, so you can take some home with you for next time.

I have Zorinth's cold. I don't know how you caught it!

Licorice root tea is nice for sore throats. So are cough drops.
