Overdoing It?

I have been a bit under the weather this week. Woke up with a killer sore throat on Tuesday, the day of one of the biggest (and longest) presentations of the semester for our spinal orthotics class. That went well, thankfully. I started taking medicine that night for a cold and sore throat, and for a few days I went through the usual array of symptoms... mild fever, coughing, coughing up delightful stuff, sneezing, etc. Yesterday I felt pretty good most of the day, and then today it returned as mostly sinus congestion and coughing. I stopped by the Georgia Tech Health Services to get some free medicine (one of the joys of being a student). If you go in there and write down your symptoms and then check off which medicines you would like for your given symptoms, they will give you (up to a certain amount) any over-the-counter medication for free. This is very nice. Well, today I went through the form and answered all the questions, handed it in, and they rejected me from the quick service because I had answered "Yes" to blood in mucous. I tried to explain that it was not a big deal, that I was not coughing up a lung, and that I simply wanted some Sudafed so I could go home and take a nap and clear my sinuses. They insisted that I see the doctor, which took well over an hour. She very thoroughly checked me out, agreed that it was nothing serious, and then sent me out the door with the following assortment of medications:

So, I got sudafed plus 5 additional pills, sprays, and syrups. I hope this will be enough to cure the common cold. And I'd hate to see the prescription list if I actually did have something serious!
