Steve- sometimes when the brochial system gets going, the coughing irritates it and it can't heal, because it's making you cough...because it's irritated, which makes you cough, which irritates it....
Anyway, at times I'm susceptible to this, and particularly easily irritated in the bronchial system because I had chronic pneumonia and life-threatening asthma as a kid. I have found that a medicine called Tessalon (Benzonatate) works wonders on that irresistible feeling to cough much better than the codeine syrup they love to prescribe for me. You might check into it if the coughing is wearing you out.
Hope you feel better soon!!
The cough was both making me feel both fatigued and sore in the back and ribs, but is better now. I'll keep the Tessalon in mind just in case I ever get this again.
A week ago today I was really feeling terrible but carried through with taking my turn to drive to a weekly meeting..................... during which I got even worse. Today, one of my two passengers phoned and said he couldn't drive tonight; he is down with a sinus infection and had also tested positive for infuenza.
