[kossai]

kossai is possibly-probably sick with some human virus . very , very rude human virus . especially because kossai is careful and do mask up - unfortunately , very few others do .
do not have reasons to believe COVID , at least , just random cold . not terribly sick right now regardless , and maybe will be lucky enough to ward off worst - just scratchy throat currently . try to pull out every stop that might moisten up and ease pain ... but tragically , can not tolerate actual cold medicines .

I've dissolved menthol cough drops in mint tea before, which has helped with sore throat. It's effectively just a very intense mint tea, but the increased menthol from the drops is way more effective than the tea alone. I wouldn't recommend it with other forms of medication, as heat and moisture will affect their functioning, but menthol is just "the thing that makes 'mint' mint" and so it's no different from just putting an absolutely massive amount of mint concentrate into a tea brew.

It might help, if you can get access. Wishing you well regardless. 🌠
