Got a bad bug
I started feeling bad last Wednesday. We had been in Lexington for the weekend and my 2 year old grandaughter had a cold so maybe I caught something from her. She did a lot of coughting and two year olds don't do a good job of covering their mouth. Plus I held her little hand a lot so I would have gotten the germs anyway.
Anyway, it started out with just the sniffles, I brushed it off as maybe one of my numerous sinus infections. Then came the bad coughing. The cough isn't in my lungs at all. But it is a hard cough and sometimes sounds like a lot of congestion in my upper airway. I didn't start running a temp until Friday night. My temp is normal during the day but by bedtime it si 100.5. I am just drained from all the coughing. My throat, head and upper back hurt from all the coughing. I called my doc on Friday and got started on an antibiotic and got some cough syrup. I don't know about you folks but I have never found a cough syrup that works well. So I will call him again first thing tomorrow.
