Thanks. I've never actually felt bad. No congestion, no headache, no fever, no nausea ... just a nagging tickle in my throat causing me to cough. A lot. My upper body is a bit sore from all the coughing, but other than that, it's just the lack of getting any good sleep from coughing..
I had similar to that a year or 2 ago.. they thought it was an infection, so gave me some antibiotics, but it didn't fix it. What fixed it was a 10 day course of Prednisone, followed by morning and night QVAR (now something else, but if I stop taking it, the cough returns with a slight nasal drip). Dr said I have reactive airway disease (asthma). My cough lasted 5 months or more.
Hope yours is short term and you get better soon.
