Italian Medicine


So I've been sick for the last 4 days or so. Kinda just started out with a little sore throat and then went into a lung thing.  I've just been taking my Umcka and Esperitox  and  drinking lots of tea (which I finally found a coffee shop that serves hot tea. Its not something very common).  
The grandpa is sick too and has been for longer than me.  I assume thats how I got it, mostly because he literally can't seem to talk to me unless he's got his face 2 inches from mine… when I back up he just steps forward. Sometimes we do this awkward dance for like 5 minutes… 
Anyway today I was coughing at dinner and the grandpa was saying how he takes medicine or something and I'm like yeah yeah, I take stuff too.  
Later I find myself in the living room with him and he's got some kinda powder in a white packet and he tells me to watch.  He tears it open, and knocks it back.   Then he tells me to.  Uhhhh…. 
Medicine, he says. For the cough.  
I felt like I was doing drugs with an 80 year old. 
I think it was just like the Italian version of an Emergen-C but he doesn't mix it with water.  Tastes like oranges. 
I may wake up dead or feeling like a million bucks. We'll see.
