I feel for you. Sometimes you feel like maybe you'd feel better if someone would just shoot you, huh? I have similar maladies on occasion and my normal meds preclude me from taking any of the normal over the counter stuff. I have found Cayenne pepper (tsp) in hot green tea with a little honey effective. Sounds nasty, but whatever works, right? Sometimes I even add a little Black Velvet.
The other thing that works for me is VERY hot spicy Chinese or Mexican food. Usually can't taste it so much, but it seems to melt everything. And, of course, my old standby is good old fashioned chicken soup. My husband makes it from scratch.
DD and I both have nasty fevers today, so soup is on the menu. Good luck.
