I've been to the doctor twice now. I was given antibiotics the first time with a prescription for lots of rest, hot showers, and NyQuil. Two weeks later I returned to the doctor with chest and back pain. Apparently, I coughed so hard and for so long that I strained my muscles. So I was sent away with steroids (yes... they juiced me up) and instructions to get a heating pad and cough syrup.
That helped. But I'm not 100%. I'm off the 'juice' now. And I'm still in a mild to moderate amount of pain (depending on the time of day). Still coughing, too. Thank goodness my job doesn't require heavy lifting.
On a good note (totally awesome note, really) - Christmas is coming!
And it's time to decorate! Maybe I'll share some pictures :o)
Hope you feel better now. I have been sick since Thanksgiving Day, pretty much the same thing as you. I had to start sleeping upward so I would not choke when I cough at night.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better- thanks so much for working on my girl--she needed that surgery ;)
