Warning: This might sound kind of nasty: I caught that virus that's been going around - the one that lasts for about 4-8 weeks with mostly cold symptoms (fever, sore throat, body aches, eventually a cough, etc.). Well, I came down with this sucker Feb. 5, which was 4 1/2 weeks ago, and I really thought I was over it until a few days ago I developed a sore throat again. But, it was a different kind of sore throat - not as severe. So, I thought it was just allergies. Well, the sore throat intensified until two nights ago when I developed a horrible cough that nothing can take care of (not even the cough medicine I was given three weeks ago when I was sick the first time). When I had the cough before, I coughed up greenish phlegm, then later on, yellow mucous. Tonight I coughed up a large quantity of clear liquid (mucous, I assume). Then, I threw up, although I didn't feel nauseous, so it was probably my cough that triggered it. Sorry to go on like this, but I am so sick of being sick.
