[Lio had never really used the video feature on his phone before, but he figured this was probably the best way to showcase his, uh, problem.

So he was laying down, with his phone pointed down at his face, and he looked absolutely miserable. His face was bright red, dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was stuck to his forehead with sweat. Anyone could tell just by looking at him that he had a nasty looking fever.]

Hey. [He swallowed, his mouth dry and his voice all nasally.] Something's wrong. I'm somehow burning hot and freezing cold at the same time, and I can't breath through my nose. I thought I was just tired this morning but it's getting worse. I think I might be dying.

[Of course, in actuality, Lio Fotia had gotten sick for the first time since childhood, and he didn't know what was going on. Galo was out at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered with a network post and would have just grabbed him, but being slightly delirious, this was his next best idea.]

Water is the best solution, but ginger ale is a good go to usually. There's also gargling with salt water to help a sore throat, but don't actually drink it if you do that.

Ginger ale... I've never had it.

[He knew what it was, vaguely, but Lio wasn't much of a soda drinker.]

What's it good for?

[doctorize]

It can help ease some amount of nausea or a sore throat when you're feeling sick... though, personally I recommend using ginger in tea if you want it to have a stronger impact. Some people find the taste too bitter or the like, however.

[burningfree]

I'd prefer too bitter to too sweet. I drink my coffee black.

[Ginger tea, eh? That sounded kind of good, actually.]

Galo's picking me up some medicine now... if none of it helps, I'll ask about the tea instead. I'm not really in any shape to drag myself to the store for it anyway. Thanks for the advice, though.

Oh, you're welcome! I'm glad that I was able to help.

If you have any other questions or concerns, you can contact me at anytime, alright?
