I have had this cold-thing for 9 days and it's starting to drive me bonkers. I'm beyond my 7-day mark (I don't like to go to the doctor until I've been sick - or the kids for that matter - for at least 7 days, since the lifespan of a virus can be anywhere between 7-14 days). BUT - I actually feel fine (aside from this dry cough) - so a doctor appt would be a waste of time & money. I thought my cold had become a sinus infection, but now I'm not thinking that is the case. I just have this *really* annoying, non-productive, dry cough.
I have been coughing so much that I now have a headache and an earache and my throat is raw - not from my cold - just from this dry cough. My prescription cough syrup is doing NOTHING to help. I'm upset I took it at 7:30, because I still have one more hour before I can take anything else. Tonight, I'm not messing around - I'm taking Nyquil. I normally don't like to take stuff that makes you sleepy and fuzzy-headed, but tonight - I've had it with this cough! I've been sleeping in the living room b/c my cough keeps Sweet Hubby awake...so maybe if I take Nyquil - I can actually sleep in my own bed...we'll see...
We did have a nice weekend...but do have a very busy week coming up. So - I really hope I'm able to get rid of this cough SOON. I don't want to have to buy yet another bag of cough drops...ick!
