I did some preliminary searching and checking of my symptoms, and took into account the recent illness of my kid brother (most likely a cold of some sort as he was very hoarse), and now think I'm coming down with something, possibly a cold. My dad is also coming down with a cold.

My body feels heavy and weak, my nose is slightly runny, and the area just below my ears is throbbing with severe pain, as is the crown of my head. I also took a look at the back of my throat with a flashlight and noticed some red spots and the like. I don't have any fever though.

So, either I'm coming down with a severe cold, or possibly strep throat. I'm leaning toward it being viral rather than bacterial at this point, though only time will tell.

It is the season after all.
