You had “the crap”. I had it a few months ago. Finally cleared after a few weeks and all congestion was gone after about 4 weeks.
Almost as soon as this was ending I got nailed by something else that gave me hives (not an allergic reaction), fever and more congestion. Three weeks later this was gone. Hives took a week to go though.
Doc theorized that the Prednisone given to me by the “Critical Care” place down the road for the first illness, weakened my immune system and left me open for the second illness.
Regardless. I rarely get sick two years in a row let alone twice in a year.
It’s frustrating. I’ve had a cough now for about 3 months. Just excess mucous. No real infection, just post nasal drip triggering the cough.
Now everybody at work and at the department stores are reporting they’ve also had it, but it lasts about a week with the cough.
Chalk it up to chemtrails. <8^0
