Dictated

[modernholmes]

 [If anyone has happened to run into Conan over the last few days they might have noticed that he's been a little sluggish in his responses.    That his voice has been hoarse and that he seems to be sneezing a lot.  Not that anyone has had much chance to talk to him with all the running around he's been doing this week.

What is a cold compared to all the things there were to investigate here?  

Whatever this illness was, Conan had been determined to ignore it.  With the result that this wasn't just a cold anymore.  

It is the dizziness and coughing that at last force Conan to accept that he needs to rest.  He reaches out for the journal and dictates into it in a  hoarse and stuffed up voice.]

I think I'm a little sick.  If anyone needs me I'm going to be in my room.

[Poor child, he really did sound unwell.]

Would you permit a visitor? I'm a doctor, and I would be glad to treat you.

[modernholmes]

Don't worry. It's just a cold, so I should be okay. I get them all the time. [But as he finishes he cuts himself off with a fit of hoarse coughing.]

[guiding]

Even a cold can be troublesome if not treated.

[modernholmes]

It can, but I should be okay.

[guiding]

I won't force you to accept help, of course, but I hope you will reconsider. There is no need to suffer through this without assistance.

[Worried, sickness is BAD]

Maybe you should go to the clinic or something.

[modernholmes]

Don't worry. I'll be fine. I get colds all the time.

[huffythedragon]

Yeah, but what if it's some really rare and deadly Paradisa virus?!

[modernholmes]

That's unlikely.

[goldencirclet]

Ya sure yer gonna be okay, Conan?

[modernholmes]

It's only a cold. Don't worry Goku. [But his voice sounds pretty awful.]

[goldencirclet]

Oh... can I get ya anythin'?

[modernholmes]

You shouldn't come here. You could get sick too.

[atadiscoverer]

[Doctor senses are tingling.]

You okay, son?

[modernholmes]

It's just a cold.

[atadiscoverer]

You sure?

[modernholmes]

I get them all the time. It should be fine if I rest, right?

[But his statement is interrupted by a harsh fit of coughing.]

[bubbleglub]

W)(at kind of )(uman sickness is it?
I am curious!

[modernholmes]

A cold, most likely.

[bubbleglub]

You're cold?

[modernholmes]

A cold. It is an illness caused by a virus infection located in the nose. Colds can also involve the sinuses, ears, and bronchial tubes. There are over 100 different cold viruses. Rhinoviruses are the most important and cause at least one-half of colds.

The symptoms of a common cold include sneezing, runny nose, nasal obstruction, sore or scratchy throat, cough, hoarseness, and mild general symptoms like headache, feverishness and chilliness.

[And then he starts coughing again.]

[cantacquityou]

What are the symptoms?

[modernholmes]

It's just a cold.

[cantacquityou]

At least 2,000 mg of Vitamin C and some Echinacea daily, and you should be okay.

[modernholmes]

...Thanks for the advice.
