Anyone else sick?

I've been sick for two weeks now.  Last week I finally went to the doctor and got a Zpack, cough syrup for night, and a cough pill for during the day.  Nothing is working.  The cough finally went away last night when my father made me take a shot of whiskey.  Really cough is completely gone.  But now the drainage is killing me.  It may be allergies, but I've never had allergies this bad.  Now my stomach hurts from drainage.  So ready for this to be over!

Re: Anyone else sick?

  • Have you used mucinex dm before?  I would suggest that for the drainage.  and make sure you're drinking a lot of water so it will thin it out.

    I probably wasn't supposed to - but I was taking nyquil capsules at night before I went to sleep - it helped a ton with the coughing while I was sleeping.

    DH and I have also had this ongoing for about a month now =(.  I've gone to the dr twice and its still "just allergies" apparently.  Fall is usually my off season for allergies - boo!

  • I am just like you, it started last week and hasn't cleared up yet.
  • Right there with both of you. DH was sick all last week. I got sick towards the later part. We both had what I thought were head colds: congestion, cough, aches. We went to the doctor yesterday and she said it was allergies.

  • The allergens are horrible right now.  Have you been taking any Claritin or Zyrtec?  You can also try using a nettipot/saline nasal rinse 1 or 2 times a day to help with the excess mucus.

  • My allergies are terrible right now. In fact, I was OOT from Thursday until yesterday and about 15 minutes after landing at the Austin airport, I had a stuffed up nose and itchy eyes. Ugh!

  • I was sick a few weeks back as well with the sinus drainage/cough thing. It then turned to an infection, which z-pac helped. In the meantime, I used an expectorant, antihistamine, and decongestant all together to cope. GL!
  • One of my good friends has been sick for a few weeks and the meds don't seem to be helping yet.  The allergens have been really bad for the past 2 weeks too so I'm sure that doesn't help

  • ditto - I was told it's allergies.  the only thing I can do is the neti-pot, which is great, but so much better when paired with a decongestant. ;(

  • hot steamy showers and a humidifier help as well.
  • DH and I both have colds now. We thought it was allergies, but we have fevers now. Nyquil is our friend....
