My throat still hurts today and I am also coughing with lots of thick yellow phlegm. I don’t have much appetite to eat, so I just drank some soup and ate half a cup of organic yoghurt for lunch. The Chinese say that snow fungus is good for the lungs so I boiled a pot of soup made up of snow fungus, Chinese white almonds, dried longan meat, red dates, wolfberries or goji berries, yoke choke (Solomon’s Seal) and pork ribs.
