Test was negative. I had to... call... the Drs office. The guy that answered says, yes, it's right here, can I read it to you? Well yes! I couldn't stop coughing while on the phone with him. Really upsets me that they didn't call. People are waiting for results.
This has been the worst flu bug I've had in a long time. Headache to start, then a real bad sore throat, then a real stuffy nose, then a fever that didn't last long, then came back even higher..then sore muscles where I've never had sore muscles....then the cough! It's horrible. Still coughing. Can't take a breath in too far without it starting. I call it my coughing fits. I'm pretty tired...worn out. Hopefully the test was right and I won't have any residual effects in my lungs like I'm hearing folks are with the virus.. Heart too. This has been crazy, still is. Mad at my Drs office.
. Still coughing today. Miserable stuff. Baby and son are coughing coughing now too. Not nearly as bad as this old lady. I've felt like I was going to break a rib at times. Glad that's settled down some.
I know many people who do this and it suppresses the cough. You can also give the kids the honey in their drink. It truly helps a lot. Soak in an Epsom salt bath too so you can help your soreness.
