Coughing as if I’ll cough out my inside and when do you go back to work?
How do you return to work when you’re coughing as if you’re about to cough out all your organs? It would be a disturbance and probably scaring coworkers that I am a walking spreader which I probably am. How long do people take off work for the flu?
It started with my mom having a hang out with a friend. She was sick for a week and seemed to be healing fine. She cooked us a meal and sometimes later I heard my brother complaining of body ache, then he was having sweat fever. Last Monday, I had a little cough and continued on Tuesday, but Tuesday night I started having chills. It went on until Thursday afternoon. I had seen the doctor that morning and confirmed I had flu b; and started taking oseltamivir. Since then I have been coughing like I will vomit out my organs. Friday was bad cause I realized I had a cranker sore on the right side of my throat, making everything worst. It got pretty bad once midnight hit. I had coughed myself into a gag and vomit. It was torture if I didn’t do these heavy cough. Really. I thought on Saturday night, taking some promethazine dm would stop the cough and would make my throat feel better since I was whistling with my cough at evening but no, it made it harder for me to do these heavy cough. It was such a torture so I suck on lozenges until the drowsiness kicked in harder and I dropped asleep after I finished off the lozenges, of course. I coughed all Sunday even with lozenges and did my gag cough after midnight.
Ugh. How do you stop this cough? I’m like this but I still had to go to the ER last Thursday cause my mom had an allergic reaction. Yup 5 hrs in the ER.
