WTH is wrong with me? (Health-related)

firefightersgal

I've had a 'cold' for two months.  Cough, sinus drainage/congestion, sore throat.  On Thanksgiving and the following day, I felt sick on top of it.  I went to the urgent care place and was given an antibiotic and cough medicine.  I *still* have a productive cough (although it is a lot less severe) and my throat is sore by the end of the day.

I'm sofa king tired of this, but am guessing it probably doesn't warrant yet another visit to the doctor.  Any ideas?

My SIL had an illness similar to what you're describing about 6 months ago and she had a hard time kicking it too. I think she ended up going to the doctor and getting a shot and that helped. I would just try to take lots of vitamins, especially vitamin C and drink lots of water, which will help your body flush toxins out. I doubt you want to clean your nasal cavity out with salt water but i've heard of people doing that when they have sinus problems. And you can always garggle (sp?) with 1/2 water 1/2 hydrogen peroxide. I swear after doing that you will break up any germs you have lying around in your throat. I'm a fan of "do it at home" techniques and I swear by them, so hopefully some of this will help you.
