EKS Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Has anyone dealt with an illness that starts with a sore throat that becomes quite intense over the course of a day or two and is coupled with a productive cough that seems to be emanating from the throat rather than the lungs (if that makes sense) along with a somewhat runny nose and very stuffed ears? No fever. The sore throat lasts for about two weeks, the cough 3+ weeks. My son brought this thing back from the Boston area with him and then he gave it to me. I have since heard about other people getting something that sounds very similar--and these people got it from people visiting from the east coast. Anyway, I was just wondering if this is something that anyone here is familiar with, and if so, did you ever get a diagnosis? It is not strep. 1 Quote
Lanny Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 We came home from Orlando 4 weeks ago tonight. I think we got a Virus there. We were all sick, with various symptoms. I am *finally* almost rid of the long lingering deep cough. When I get a cough, it usually takes me a long time to get rid of it. I remember, years ago, I went to our E.N.T. doctor, with a cough like this. She prescribed 1 or 2 medicines that didn't work. After that, she sent me for Inhalation Therapy. Hard, but it cured the problem. Quote
