It is my humble opinion that blowing a silver dollar’s worth of thick green snot out of one’s nose ought to signal to a body that the end is in sight; the cold is going away. I sincerely hope this is the case.
Which is about all I’ve got to say this morning. Back to working on the book.
Well, no: thanks for all the encouragement yesterday. :) I did get one chapter completely rewritten before my brain gave out. I need to do that again today. Preferably twice today. We’ll see.
Hate to tell you this but GREEN snot means infection.
Have you ever considered that you might have a sinus infection, not a cold?
Yeah, except I’ve had a sinus infection before and I’m nowhere near that sick. I literally can’t stay awake when I’ve got a sinus infection. But if this doesn’t clear up in the next week I’ll go to a doctor.
Erm. Actually.
Green snot does not mean infection.
Green snot is perfectly normal, and a part of the cycle of the cold virus.
The whole ‘green = infection’ thing is why people take too many antibiotics.
Colds take anywhere from 7-14 days to resolve. Snot should go clear -> yellow -> green -> yellow -> clear. If it hangs in there for a month or so, THEN you’re talking infection.
