Howdy, friends!
I hope you are enjoying your long holiday weekend. I’m trying to make the most of mine, but unfortunately this cough I’ve had for 2 1/2 weeks has not subsided; I have an appointment with the doc early Tuesday morning — suspecting it is bronchitis. With that said, hopefully it’s understandable why my Weekly Workout posts have been on the slimmer side the past couple of weeks.
I’ve done my best to keep up with my healthy lifestyle, but sometimes a 30 minute walk or sleeping in until 9:00am all weekend is the healthier choice.

Four weeks ago I went to a doc while in Utah because I had a terrible cold and cough… I was sure antibiotics would be the answer. My cough still persists, but it is getting better :) …no harm in going to a clinic to get yourself checked out, but even with bronchitis there isn’t much to do but drink lots of water and take a mucus thinning cough syrup. I assume you don’t have a fever. Spring allergies have made lots of our respiratory systems sick.
Did you end up taking antibiotics, or no?
No fever, but can hardly breathe with the coughing attacks… scary. Been taking Mucinex before bed the past few nights. I have heard “this cough” is a long one.
I didn’t take antibiotics…… he gave me a prescription but I was only to use it if it got worse. Doc indicated that there was no magic pill for the cough, AND I never got a fever…… Not being able to breath with coughing is absolutely worth checking into. xoxoxo
