Thanks! No, this is not a seasonal allergy thing or flu, but an actual cough type cold.
I felt pretty bad the first few days and it dragged on for about 10 days with me feeling better during the day but laying down and coughing a lot at night.
You know, I had something just like that a week or so ago. The cough mostly manifested at night. Hubby ran to get me some OTC cough medicine which I only needed for a few days. I really have attributed mine to leaf mold, because I’ve been working around the leaves a lot.
Maybe it was a virus instead? The itchy inside my ears makes me think it was allergy driven. I am prone to bronchitis, so I understand the concern. I’m glad to be on the other side of recovery though. I hope you continue to heal up, and quickly!
