I had an annoying cough for one week before I became sick this weekend. I went to the local pharmacy and asked for a cough syrup because my throat was irritated and I didn't have time to visit the doctor.
Eventually I had to call the doctor at home because I was feeling worse and I also got sick with the flu. He told me that I was taking the wrong type of cough medicine and it wasn't helping at all. I noticed a huge difference when I changed the syrup.
I have recovered today and I will finally be strong enough to start fresh and go to work tomorrow.

@besweet I had no clue! I look at the symptoms list to see what I need.

It is important to get the right medicine so we can rest and our body can heal.

Yes, there are two main categories according to my doctor and I was taking the wrong one.
I hope your sisters have recovered by now.
I have recovered to a functional level but I still have the cough at night. I'm looking forward to recover fully because I want to start exercising again.
