Have fun getting speedy off a whole bottle of good tasting liquid sudafed.
That's why they make it bad. Doesn't stop the determined. Reminds me of poor (often homeless) Russian alcoholics who drink crappy cologne cause it's cheaper than vodka.
Come to think about it, I've not had liquid meds in ages, come to think about it. Not even like Nyquil. used a bit of sudafed and a lot of rest to get through that flu/cold/whatever it was around new year's.

What I've seen here the last month, Mama Natura is just on a marathon bender and is leaving it to us to deal with it. From near-0F temps with windchills that put it way under to a 1.5-2 foot snowstorm to a summer rainstorm where I could walk to the pub in flats and just my leather jacket, no coat, in 1 week.
Then the day after it's freezing again.

It's been 50s and sunny everyday where I'm at (and 70s and sunny everyday in my other place of residence, so to speak), so I'm not complaining a ton. Still wish we had more powder for skiing here in Flagstaff.

Whatever I got is some antibiotic that's an alternative to Penicillin since I'm allergic to Penicillin.

I've got to take it for three days and hope to goodness that the head pain is no more. The guy at the Minute Clinic said that the inside of my right ear looks red and bulging while my left ear looks normal.

What happens when you take penicillin? I ask because I happen to be deathly allergic to it.

They found out I was allergic to it when I was an infant. Apparently it was given to me for something then and I had to be rushed to the hospital where they determined I'm allergic to Penicillin.

So personally I don't know what happens when I take penicillin because I was not old enough to have a memory of the experience of the reaction. Though I probably wouldn't want that memory.

Yeah, liquid not a pill. And no, nothing to drop in the ear. The guy said if this doesn't help after the three days to go see a primary care doctor instead.

Here they would give you an oral antibiotic, and a steroid drop for the ear for the swelling. Good luck those while not fatal are no fun at all.
