I cough until i feel like im going to throw up; and today i had a intense cough spazm! And my nose WILL not stop running, i blow it every couple of minutes but it still keeps running! I have taken tons of medicine, gotten lots of sleep, and have taken lots of liquids but nothing has seemed to work! I've taken Afrin nose spray, Theraflu, Alchezelzer plus, Chloraseptic throat spray & relief strips, tylenol, tylenol cold & synus, robitusin, shower soothers, vicks vapor rub, and much more. I running out of options! lol

Ok hun it sounds like u might also have what we Southerners call, "Walking Pnemonia." Which can be fatal. Besides with the nose running constantly It might be a sinus infection. Which the over-the-counter medicines u are taking is not going to work and may call for an even more powerful antibiotic. Hun, if I were you go back to your doctor and demand that they swap u again to see if u indeed have the flu and also test if u have the on set of pnemonia and a sinus infection. I had that all together once when i was in high school and spent 2 weeks in the hospital trying to get over it. It almost took me out of this world. Hun please don't u or your parents play with this. It could mean life or death. Besides if u can't get to your doctor, there is always your local hospital unless they are as sorry as the hospital we have around here. If there is anyway that you and your parents can get u to the nearest specialized hospital with a trama ward that is the best bet. Which for us in NC that is in either Chapel Hill, or Durham, but hey do what is best for your life hun. I pray u get better.

Your nose having yellow mucus and you having had a fever is a sign that you have an infection. You really need antibiotics to cure it. Drink orange juice, get plenty of sleep and keep using the vapor rub. If this has been going on for a week you do need to see a doctor and get antibiotics. That is not what you wanted to hear, but unless you live in Mexico or can order them off the Internet, then you will have to get them from a doctor. If you want to get better soon, then you have to do that. If, not then you should not seem so upset when other people Tell you to go to the doctor. It only makes sense to go to the doctor and your parents should have already taken you.

It could be bronchitis or pneumonia. When you cough or blow your nose is the stuff yellow or green? If so it's a sign of infection. In any case you should see a doctor ASAP as you might need antibiotics. Since it's the weekend you might want to consider an immediate care center.

Yep. Probably a secondary infection, upper respiratory, bronchitis and you are going to need antibiotics to knock it out. The sneezing, runny nose stuff sounds like an allergy. You'll also need something to dry that up...time to see the doc and lay off all that OTC stuff, it's not good to take all that stuff at once!
Seriously...see a doc before you get worse!

Orange and green and yellow is a def infetcion you need to get on some antibiotics ASAP cause if you do not you could give your self an ear infection ect...... Also if you go and get adjusted at the chiropractic it helps to loosen all the Flem and mucous!
