My symptoms got worse today, so I went to see a doctor. I’d been treating myself with Zicam and Tylenol Cold, and I now understand why I wasn’t feeling any better. It turns out that I have a sinus infection and bronchitis. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic and a cough syrup, and he told me to pick up some Mucinex over the counter. I started taking the meds around 6:00 tonight. Hopefully I’ll be feeling much better within a few days.
Thanks for the well wishes!

Hopefully you will knock your cold in a day or two and feel chirpy once more.

god bless mucinex. NOTHING else helps my sinuses. Hope you’re on the rebound this AM!

Oh that sucks. I always seem to get the sinus infection and bronchitis combo.
Whenever I get a cold it always sinks into my lungs.
I always have sinus problems too it seems. All year round. I never had allergies as a kid but have them now as an adult.
I love Vicks Vapo Rub…it totally helps open up the lungs.
Wow, this was quite the A.D.D. comment…I was all over the place. Hmm.

I got very sick while I was on Thanksgiving vacation last year. I’m crossing my fingers that I won’t this year! Get better!
