I am sick. again. My tenth or eleventh cold since October.
Since Oscar was born, I've had a cold pretty much continuously, except for a brief, annual, summer respite. I get over one. He catches a new one. He gives it to me. He's sick for a week. I'm sick for two. I get over it. He catches a new one. He gives it to me. Lather, rinse, repeat.
When I pick him up at day care, I can see other boogery kids. And since Oscar regards the entire world as his Kleenex, his sleeve, his cheek, and other things are generally befouled with boogers at the end of the day. His little face is chapped. And I look at the sick kids and think, kennel cough.
Is there a daycare equivalent for this? When I refer to it as "kennel cough" I get disapproving looks.
I KNOW MY KID IS NOT A DOG.
That said, kennel cough is fucking killing me. My throat! My nose! I'm snoring! I'm sniffling! My lips are chapped! I cough constantly! I've gone through six bottles of Nostrilla! I even bought a neti pot! Yes, it's come to that.
HELP.
