Drugs vs. cough: Round 2 is still a draw
A little over a week ago, I reported that the drugs I was taking were fighting my cough to a draw. Now, with my last antibiotic pill due tonight, I'd still call the contest a neck-and-neck race. I've slept as much as I could reasonably manage over the last two weeks, and I've taken the antibiotics and nasal spray as the doctor ordered, and I am definitely better--but I am nowhere near 100%. I still have a cough, and I am still feeling under the weather. I have to hope this situation will improve.
To be fair to the doctor, I stopped taking the anti-cough nighttime pill two days ago, because it contains hydrocodone, which was sticking with me for a long time each day. If necessary, I can always go back to using that drug to be able to sleep without coughing, but doing so is likely to affect my work, something I do not want to happen.
So, I'm going to have to hope that the lingering cough will vanish and I will fully heal.
More on this front in a week or so.

Hope you are feeling better soon!
I'm w/ you: I really dislike codeine, hydrocodone, morphine (the morphine was from when I was having a broken foot taken care of in 1980)...any of those strong meds. I can't take a whole dose of some medicines cause I would sleep for 24 to 48 hours!
