    One doctor informed me that I have a chronic inflammation of the throat, which half of our large northern city also have, and best I can do is protect the throat from cold air by breathing through the nose.

    I’m also rather non-muscular, particularly in regard to the neck, and thus get cold easily in the parts that aren’t layered with fat. Namely, if I have the window cracked open for fresh air in the autumn or spring while I sleep, the throat gets sore and I can develop a full-blown cold.

    I’ve also been drinking lots of cold beverages this summer, and now I really seem to have a nasty inflammation in the throat, that leads to annoying irritation and cough. This is while I’m asocial, stay inside a lot and have little contact with people.
