Under the weather

It started with my kids with sore throat and some cough, then it was my dear wife turn. They started to get better and I was sort of happy that I was excluded, or that was I thought. Now I am the only one who has it at home. It does not bother me much that I cough now and then daytime but it when it is bedtime; the cough just takes over. I had few sleepless night as the cough would do its magic. I don't believe much in cough medicines but I finished couple of bottles already. Finally I had to accept my wife time-tested remedy hot milk with ginger. It has been 2 hrs from my last cup and no cough yet..Is it working? Hope so.
