What a way to start the new year, Glenn. I get the dry, scratchy throat and nasal congestion about every year. I usually avoid the chest congestion, thank goodness. I always blame it on allergies and take Benadryl etc. I imagine you have tried that. I hope you have had your flu shot. News says it is very nasty this time. Well, hang in there Glenn. I didn't help much, but I certainly wish you well.
