Antibiotics, originally uploaded by carissabyers.
So, on Friday, I finally went to see the doctor about my cough– I swear I heard a collective sigh of relief in the office when I told them I made the appointment…
He looked me over, listened to me hack, and agreed that it was time for more serious course of action and gave me antibiotics and heavy duty cough syrup (read:codeine laced cough syrup). I’ve been taking the antibiotics for 5 days now, and I STILL have the cough. Admittedly, it’s waaaay better than it was last week, but I was hoping that it would be over by now. My co-workers are ready to smother me to keep me quiet…

Just be glad you aren’t coughing so hard it makes you gag and puke. Yes, it happens :-/

No inhaler prescribed? I thought that was pretty standard.

@ErikaJean- thankfully, none of that!!!
@bigdreamseeker- nope– no inhaler (thankfully!) Though I did buy primatine mist a few weeks ago before I went to the doctor. That seemed to help with the pressure on my chest, but not the coughing.
