Last month I came down with the flu. I had the fever, muscle and joint pains, cough, headache, etc.
All of that lasted about 2 and a half weeks. The fever lasted 24 hours but the rest lingered on.
I had about 1 week of no coughing or anything.
But now my nose is all stuffy!
Seems I'm getting sick again.
The only thing I can think of that's causing this never ending sickness is that I ride the buses through Halifax quite often. I need the bus system to get back and forth to different places, as does a lot of people. Unfortunately the buses are an environment that germs and bacteria like to linger in. And it keeps getting me. Even if I use hand sanitizer.
Hopefully this clears up soon though. I'll be counting on vicks tonight to clear up my airways.
Oooh, I am really sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon. I don't know if you have ever seen a post where I recommended taking just plain advil for cough, scratchy throat, or any of those symptoms that just boil down to inflammation. The advil specifically targets inflammation. And a double dose of advil won't hurt you the way that too much tylenol will. The vicks is pretty good.

ReplyDeleteYeah I did see that comment on my other blog. I always use advil, it's my go to medicine for things.
I also have tylenol cold and phlegm relief for when I'm really sick, it seems to help as well. But I mostly stick to the advil :)
