Felt in absolute agony the last two weeks with an ear infection that couldn't be countered at night with 400 - 600 mg of Ibuprofen leading to sleepless nights. It flowed over into some flu -like disease with high fever and aching shoulders / swollen lymph nodes. My throat got hit hard with soreness making me cough so hard that I threw up. Receding now, leaving behind a mucus - filled lung cough. But it was really bad for some days.
