14. Having a Cold


A: I'm so sick of being sick.

B: Have you been taking any medicine?

A: I have taken every over-the-counter medicine in the pharmacy.

B: Maybe you need a prescription for an antibiotic.

A: I went to the doctor, and he says it's viral so no antibiotic will help.

B: Have you tried any home remedies?

A: What do you suggest?

B: You can try sitting in the bathroom with the shower running so it's all steamy.

A: What will that do?

B: It will help with the congestion.

A: Yeah, but I can't sit in the bathroom all day.

B: Do it in the morning and before you go to bed.
