Progression of another malaise

Progression of another malaise

Lot of people got sick. some with flu. Most with that looked like a flu but apparently medically not. Aunts, uncles, kids, and if could speak dogs and kids, and sure birds as well fell ill.

started with a sensation of a speck in my throat. No other symptoms prior to that other than a few late nights prior. When provided with kids late nights rarely rhyme with fun.

A touch of cough a bit of sneezing but the throat very quickly went down to the stomach. Sinus like headache.

lasted for 3 days. 2 to 3 advil morning and evening. But got really worse at night. It was at its peak on the 4th day.

visited the doctor on the 5th. Got a confirmation that it is not flu. was told if it were flow i won't be out of bed. lot of tea. No cold water.

Got anti-biotics if it gets worse. Kept them in store. if needed. didnt use them. lungs are good.

Got better for 2 days. eased up and drank a bit cold water and drinks and a touch of sugar. i guess that is a splurge!!

And this time cough is back. Cold seems in the chest. Not stop cough. Took some triaminic day time. Stopped the cough. but weakness. Took 2 advils this morning. back to hot tea like a dog with tail between the legs.

Especially during the first week. 


talking
cold liquids


slightly sore throat
headache
loss of voice


heaviness in the Upper chest
is that the bronchial area
cough with a tearing sensation 
slight weakness


hot tea (lots)
advil
triaminic
wal-flu (like theraflu) at night

may be due to advil or it is just not there

It could be an asinine coincidence!!! To recall I bought some dark chocolate in the interim few days I was getting better. That seem to make the throat itch may have started the cycle all over again!!

Another day of cough

..and returned it to my body. Every time it heaves, and it heaves a lot, my organs are getting pressed..

Ahh, chocolate. Chocolate comes from the same mountains that produce the most addictive substances in the world. It is a strong stimulant and was used by the Mayans in their religious rituals in order to see the future. Not a drug you say? Try to feel unhappy while you eat a dark chocolate bar from Belgium. It?s just not possible. Scientists say that chocolate contains the same chemicals that the body produces when you are in love. It also contains caffeine?.and good amounts of it. Many bars also contain nuts. This combo is a no-no for an irritated throat. You may not be able to give this one up, but avoid it like the plague while your throat is inflamed.

Here are some suggestions from wikihow

Today is Friday. A full week. And no signs of cough going away

All home remedies are what they are. Mostly don't work and at best placebos


Advil - for pain
Triaminic - for cough
Claritin - hoping this will help allergies
A string of Ricolahs


as soon as I lay down
and in the morning

wonder how long it is going to go on....3 weeks now in all

A few odd ball paleolithic things like lemon and ginger seem to be tolerated (Mind you: Not a cure!!)

I am usually an optimist. But when it comes to this itchy/coughy throat count me the top pessimist!

yes. but there is more to it. 


Very Irritated throat
Unstoppable cough
Sneezing
Headache
General Total Irritability

Warning: please don't follow this advice with out talking to your Physician!! 


1 claritin in the morning
3 advils each time(morning, afternoon, evening)
Antibiotics (I threw this in just in case to scare the devil)

Did the same on Sunday

That 5 days have passed may have done it too. who knows what may have worked. I hope i am not jinxing it by believing it is gone.

And maximum allowed dosage of Advil to remove any inflamation.

Now it is full blown cold and cough. Claritin still seem to work but the main symptoms and discomfort are 


A burning sensation at night in the upper nostrils
same in the morning
Lot of sneezing and accompanying yellow stuff


Claritin
Advil
Triaminic night time
Sleep time tea

with these I am able to stand straight and move about and function!!
