Sounds to me like you have a virus. Not all horrific colds are the same, sometimes they never begin with a sore throat, It can last a while which sucks, try taking some zicam it doesn't get rid of the virus but it will speed up the process; so instead of having that shit for 2 weeks it will be over in one. Thats just my experience and from listening to you, that's what it sounds like you have.
I agree that it's probably a virus of some sort. Zinc stuff like zicam might help recovery. Vitamin C is good for that too (4000-6000 mg/day). The best thing you can do to feel better is to drink lots and lots of fluids (water mostly + some OJ) and take 600-800 mg ibuprofen and 1000 mg acetaminophen every 4-6 hours, but no more than 4 times a day. Sudafed will help if you're phlegmy or congested. Mucinex might be helpful if you feel like you have mucus in your chest that should be coming up when you cough but isn't, otherwise don't take it. The throat numbing stuff isn't really helpful. If you need to cough you should. Also, take a nice long hot steamy shower after taking the ibuprofen and acetaminophen with big glass of water, then get into bed and get some rest. Repeat until you feel better. Hope this helps.
I believe you could be suffering from Laryngitis.. my advice is to speak as little as possible to save your voice from not being damaged, and go back to doctors to get some antibiotics if needed. Laryngitis can last up to 2 weeks around about, main problems is a sore throat, vocal disruption, the need to cough continuously which then accompanies syptoms of a cold like headaches, always needing to blow your nose and feeling 'urgh'.. hehe hope i helped get better soon xx
I agree, you have a virus, it'll go away on it's own. Masking it with over the counter drugs, helps mentally, I go to any Kiaser Parmacy, over the counter no membership needed for Generic Benadryl. Two 50miligrams, three times a day. It's better than the real benadryl at the local store.
Feel better honey, Awww!
Less talk to get your voice some rest, hot fluids preferably soup.
A lot of Vitamin C and rest and give it 7 days..... if you font get better after that ill s suggest other solutions. I am not a doctor but I've been there!!!
you know I had a Dog that my mother and most all LOVE cute fun playfull he always had a sick thing going for him. so one day me and a lady Friend got to go on him and hay like after it was over my he R.I.P. HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON HONEY.
