Waking up with a sore throat is such an eye roll. It’s a daunting, familiar feeling we’ve all dealt with way too often. You can hardly swallow without your tender throat feeling dry, scratchy, and achy. Ugh, it’s the worst. It’s even hard to talk sometimes because your tonsils and glands feel so out of order. I don’t know about you, but when I’m sick, it seems like it ruins my productivity. My whole body shuts down.
