Good advice!!!
I have to agree with this. When I start my coughing I get Hycodan from the doctor right away.
The coughing hurts so much and when you have a stuffy head, it is brutal.
It is not good to take antibiotics if it is viral, it won't really work
and then you are building up a resistance to that particular antibiotic.
And if or when you get a bacterial infection, it may not work.
Stay away from little kids with colds.
I am playing "Give back" with one of my students and have been home sick for 3 days.
I hope you feel better soon.
