It’s the worse thing ever (thanks brother for sharing your cold w/ me).

Any advice for a quick fix? I’m afraid it lasts 2 weeks as usual… :'(

I took BEC with a bad cold. Just take your choice of decongestant before the exam and do your best. Oh, and hope you take your test at a lenient Prometric. I haggled with my center and got them to let me bring 4 (center-issued) tissues in with me instead of the customary 2. Not a fun experience, but you should be fine.

Get plenty of vitamin C between now and your exam. Supposedly it can cut down on cold durations. No idea if this is actually true, but it couldn't hurt.

I used a weird remedy the last time I was sick and it cut my cold in half, mine usually last 2 weeks. If you have a sore throat make some Jell-o but instead of eating it cold heat it in the microwave with 1 tsp of honey. I did that a couple times a day, I think it really worked. And it tastes good, and get a lot of sleep don't stay up too late studying.

Ugh, sucks bro.

The moment you feel the sickness coming take Zicam. That stuff usually helps me out a ton! I'll only feel the symptoms for about two days if I catch it and take the meds in time.
