I developed a nasty cold while we were in Disney two weeks ago. It sadly turned into a sinus infection, bronchitis, and a double ear infection.
The doctor gave me benzonatate to suppress my cough, but man, I'm still hacking away. Thankfully it is numbing my throat. Suggestions?
Update: I gave in and went to urgent care today. My coughing had gotten very bad, so the point I was sent home form work because I couldn't stop coughing. It felt like I couldn't breath, and was going to be sick. Also, my back was in so so so much pain.
He's giving me a different antibiotic, a steroid to help open up my lungs, and a lovely pain killer for my back. Taking a day off work to rest up. Hope this does the trick. This stuff is awful!
