According to the packaging, the DayQuil LiquiCaps I’m taking are supposed to be effective in combating my cold symptoms (cough, nasal congestion, fever, minor aches, pains, headache, muscular aches, and sore throat pain) for 6 hours.

I took my first dose at 7:30am.

I am now sneezing my brains out* and blowing my nose like my life depended on it. It is exactly 11:33am.

That’s not 6 hours!! If I had known my scurvy** would reject the DayQuil after only 4 hours, I would have brought more than one more dose with me to work!

*sneezes*

*blows nose*

Ugh. Kill me now, please!

* – Don’t worry, I rinsed them off and put them back.
** – Every disease/flu/cold/ailment I get I call “scurvy”.
