Hi, I was sick with a cold about a week ago. (coughing, runny nose, fever, etc) It went away and I got better..., yet today I woke up with dry mouth, swollen throat/glands and my head feels like it s 20 lbs. If I hold my head down or in a certain position for too long it hurts, my neck and/or shoulder. I barely cough, but when I do it s get phlegm out of the way. I m always thirsty. no fever.
