    Do You Wear Face Masks?

    Ceci I have to say it takes a lot of confidence to go around in a mask all the time! I don't think I could even if I wanted to! What do you do if you meet someone you like or are on a date? Must be difficult if they can't see your face.

    a cold and cough

    It's important that if Marcos has mucus building up in his lungs that he coughs it up. Regular cough medicine will suppress this cough and will create a better environment for infection in his lungs so regular cough medicine is not a good idea for cfers.
