small girl with a man cold

Caroline has her first low grade fever and a bit of a cough.

She was a little congested and had a coughing spell, so I figured I'd give her a spoonful of honey. I told her, "This will help your cough and taste sweet, lucky!" She took it gladly. 2 minutes later, she coughed again. Then she got mad. "HONEY DOESN'T WORK!!!!"

Later, she was laying on the cough saying how warm she was, then she coughed a little more. In a hoarse voice, she desperately exclaimed, "Mama, I have no words! I have no words!!" When I pointed out that she was indeed able to speak, she said, "Oh. Well. Can I just have a drink? I don't need questions."
