About 2 days ago, I started feeling like I was coming down with a cold. My throat was a little irritated, but I thought nothing of it. I went to bed that night at about 9:45, and woke up at one, my throat was killing me! It was the worst sore throat I had EVER had. I stayed up the rest of the night, looking for something to help me, CRYING, wishing I could go to sleep. I never found anything but DayTime (it's like DayQuil, just cheaper) and it didn't help.
