The poor pharmacist and I were definitely speaking to cross-purposes. He speaks a very "educated" Chinese, and you know, my head hurt. So he said something, and I didn't understand it at all, so I said OK. Then he said something that seemed like tomorrow, and I said I didn't understand, then he said something else that had something to do with the second time, and I started to think about how you have to sign papers in the US to say you won't make crystal meth out of your sudafed, and I thought maybe he was saying he could only sell it to me my second time there, so I said, "I've been here before! Last year, I bought... uh... I don't know how to say." Then he said something else, and I said, "Can I just buy one?" And we stared at each other blankly.
It turned out he was saying that the pills he had, had the sudafed ingredient plus something else. Ah! So I bought them at last.

Get well soon :-)
Maybe a nice soak in a Hot Spring would help you?
Have you considered "gua sha" (spelling?)..or cupping? I have found it accelerates the process so instead of being sick for 5 days you are really sick for 1 day (after about 18 hours of sleep).

Or a Chinese foot massage. I have been told they are very good for many health issues. I had one once,,,was an akakening experience. lol..
I did do the guasha. I've also had my share of foot massages- eeek. Once in conjunction with the guasha. Unfortunately I didn't think of it for this illness and I wound up getting better with antibiotics.
