That hurts!

Canada
February 6, 2016 12:39pm CST
I have been battling a cold for a week now. While I think I am improving(although slightly), the coughing stops me in my tracks. Sometimes it is a tickle in the back of my throat that just won't give up, causing me to choke and gasp for air. But almost every cough makes my upper abdominal muscles hurt. It is painful. Over all, I don't feel as bad as I did and the coughing spells, while still pretty frequent, are starting to get a little bit better. Hopefully by this time next week I am without this pesky cough.

Sandra was kind enough to share her cold with my husband and I. She has mostly recovered...I feel like someone kicked me in the face.

Sorry to like this, having a cold is no fun. I hope you can kick it quicker than I have.

I have been sick with an upper respiratory infection so I understand completely! The coughing and fever has been awful. I hope you feel better soon.

Thankfully I don't have a fever. The pain in my abs is so uncomfortable. I am hoping to get seen by a doctor today, even though I am not sure they will prescribe anything.

Coughs tend to linger more with me... I hope yours will go away soon.

Don't let it go on too long. Have you tried Cinnamon and honey, mixed together, take a spoonful every once in awhile. I know it helped me the last time I had a cough.

Take care, we always have some lozenges and warm lemon peppermint tea at bedside when we're down with the flu.
