    For me, it's the coughing. I really don't like coughing fits. They hurt....

    I'm going to have to go with sore throat. I can handle everything else just fine. I just hate eating/drinking with a sore throat.

    The cough is the worst for me. My lungs have been damaged and now when I cough, it can become disabling.

    I'd say the cough for sure as a sore throat is a good excuse to suck on some Luden's Wild Cherry Cough Drops (I eat those things like candy).

    Runny nose, can't stand sniffing all day and my nose is basically like a tap with a broken handle.

    I would probably say the sore throat, as for me, that lasts the longest, and discourages me from eating/drinking (whenever that's exactly what you're suppose to maintain when you have the cold).

    I take it you now have the cold, Lucas? Surprisingly, I haven't caught it yet this month, and I'm somebody that is quite prone to sickness. No doubt though that I will probably end up getting it soon...

    Inflamation, or when it travels to your ear. They're both pretty uncomfortable.

    The general fatigue and aches seem to affect everything, so I think those are the worst parts. Sore throats suck a lot too.

    The sore throat is the worst for me, I can't stand it and whenever I have one it always makes my nose sweat like crazy.
