Been a little under the weather since last Thursday. I even took a sick day yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling better than I had. Went to work and felt fine, little sluggish is all. Barely coughed all day. I went to bed this evening at 9 and it wasn't 5 minutes later I was coughing...and coughing...and coughing...
So, to my home office I go to sleep in my recliner. Of course, 5 minutes after being up and moving around, no more coughing. I honestly feel ok. It's just that cough when I laid down.
I know there's several things going around my area right now such as influenza A, RSV and strep throat. Not really sure what I have but, I wish it'd just move along!

Yeah, lotta crap going around. I got my flu shot about a month ago. I've been doing really good since I started getting them, approx 7-8yrs ago maybe?
I've spent many nights in the recliner to help breathe from congestion. It hits me alot with allergies.
Good luck getting over it. Hope it stays mild.

It's bananas right now. We had it all for a couple weeks after Thanksgiving. Can't get away from it, flu and cough stuff. Made it thru I think though

Wife and kids went through it, I've been lucky and have not gotten it. Probably just a matter of time.

Have anyone ever tried Fisherman friends cough drops ? They cost around $ 4.00 but well worth the price. The only place I’ve found them is CVS and Walgreens . Don’t buy the sugar free ones because they don’t work as well as the Original

I had been coughing a lot for about three weeks. I went to doctor and he put me on 10 days of Amoxicillin and told me to get Aller-Zyr (OTC generic for Zyrtec) for my cough. In a couple days my cough was much improved. Now it’s pretty well gone. Just a tickle cough every now and then. For that I pop an Equate (Walmart brand) honey and lemon cough drop in my mouth. Got a huge bag for a few bucks

I have been taking Mucinex DM a long with some cough drops. I tried some NyQuil sever cold and flu last night. It didn't seem to stop that cough one bit. I finally fell asleep around 1:30 but, didn't sleep that great. I would get the cough under control then try to recline just a little and it would come right back. Lungs are pretty full I suppose.
Took another day off work. I will just camo out back in my office all day and try to rest. I'm considering not taking anything today. Just cough up as much mucus as I can.

If I don't start turning around after today I'll have to make an appointment. But, then again, I thought I had turned around twice already.

You can't stay away from it because sick people won't stay home.

Call me crazy, but this has helped me out in the past:
Before going to bed, put a heavy coat Vicks vapor rub on the bottoms of your feet,then put socks on. I heard this and tried it and I was amazed.
