For the first time since being here, something has gotten me down. :(
Sarah is sick! I even missed my second day of work in 8 months!
It started with a sore throat.
Followed by severe headaches and nasal congestion.....and now.......a cough.
Thera-flu....gone.
Sudafed Cold and Cough....gone.
(Both definitely NOT sold here....Walgreen's....not even close. It's not like the states where you can just walk into a drug store or supermarket and pick up what you need. Nope EVERYTHING is sold behind the counter. AND you can only buy medicines at a pharmacy....)
Walked in to the pharmacy about 10 minutes from my apartment only to learn that they don't sell cough syrup.
Here is the conversation between me and the pharmacist....
Him: "I think you need to see a doctor."
Me: "Yes. Are there any around who speak English?"
Him: "Oh. No. No."
Me: No comment, just looking like, ok and they will be able to assist me how? And how will I inform them of my allergy to amoxicillin (in the penicillin family)??
My solution: God's healing hands, Halls cough drops, hot tea with lemon and honey......
