Like You Really Want To Know... / myLot

I have not been on myLot for a few days. My nose has been running one minute, stuffed the next. On top of the nose problem, I have been majorly coughing. I am stubborn and do not like to take over-the-counter medicine for every little ache and pain. But, last night, I broke down and bought some cough syrup. My coughing has decreased so much that I cannot believe it! Yes, I still cough, but not nearly as much. The above problem has been going around. I guess this was my turn. I have not been working as much because of this nose & cough problem. I guess my work is cut out for me this week. So, I am still here. photo by pixabay

we are the same. i dont like taking those over-the-counter medicines for coughs but you know what, since i eat raw honey, i have had not experienced that for a year now. i think you may start eating raw honey. it is very healthy, my natural vitamins.

I had this a few weeks ago. I hated it. One night I was coughing my head off.

I'm sorry you've had a time of it lately. I am like you, I don't like to get medicine for things if I can help it. I always start with herbal teas and lozenges before I go with cough medicine.

I am a coffee drinker but just might resort to drinking some hot tea...

I hate clogged nose or runny nose because it greatly affects my sleep.

I don’t take meds for as long as my body can endure. Maybe chicken soup can help.

I did not think of chicken noodle soup! Of all things! Thank you for the reminder!

Whenever this happens, I take Nyquil at night, which helps me sleep sound without coughing. During the day, I take Dayquil, which opens up my breathing for 12 hours! I keep this up, until the virus is gone. Before using this, I did nothing at all and it's miserable to feel that way
