if the symptoms are "productive", getting stuff out, let it come out. If not, or if you can't sleep because of them, take the meds.

read "buggers" as boogers and was going to suggest some kleenex.

I'm so sorry you're sick. We were sick all November. Nasty bug

I'm a nonmedicine type girl... until the symptoms are interfering with life too much

b_c: you schold tell the kids to be quiet when you want to go to sleep ,but that's what I think.
