Well, the famous Termy was not strong enough for this year and the cold virus hit him good. I don't feel good at all. My throught hurts like crazy and my mussles are hurting a bit and making it harder for me to getup. This sucks but I usually get it every year around this time.

Update...

I am just letting everybody know that Termy is back to normal again! I am feeling great and thankful I am not still going through all that. Ajace, I hope youy get better soon!

I glad you didn't pass. 

Ajace is probably gonna loose his voice and he can't talk too well without coughing.  If I don't get to feel better, I'll see the doctor Monday if he'll see me.  Thanks again for the Photoshop Jobs. 

Glad to hear your doing better....In my part of the county, there was an upper respitory irus going around.

I got it...fever, chills, the works. Went to the doctors and got medication. 1 month later still coughing my lungs out.

Hopefully the cough will subside by deer season.........

By Deer season. LMAO 

Maybe Dear season instead? 

Could it be Deere season? 

Marshall,

After coughing for a month...some days good and some days bad... it seems like a year.

It's nearly Deere season here in upstate N.Y. I was definatly talking about Deer season. Actually it better be gone by bear season in Maine. It's one thing to lose a deer in your neck of the woods...but loseing oportunity for a bear in Maine is time and money !!! Those trips take a lot of negotiating and heartache with the Mrs.  I'm lucky if I can get there once every 3 years or so.

So far two trips to Maine in five years and one bear with a sore shoulder...no rug...

Dan do you smoke?

You were placed on antibiotics by the sound of it already?  Which one and for how long and when?

Color of sputum if there is any?  Are you wheezing when you breath?

Shortness of breath with activity?  Feverish?

Without seeing you and having the rest of the info it seems that you may have put on a antibiotic when it was still viral and after a month it is now bacterial which means you need another round of antibiotics.  If you are a smoker then you need antibiotics for sure.  You can ride it out but walking pnuemonia is a definate possibility.

After a month, maybe a doctor visit?

Bronchitis is to be treated symptomatically with no antibiotics at first (usually) but yes after a month he should be placed on antibiotics especially if he is a smoker.

Chris,

Had a fever and chills with it...deep bronchial cough...some yellow sputum...but not a constant cough keeping me up at night. I got put on a Z-Pack. That cleared all the symptoms up except now I have a  non productive cough. Still...not constant...but bronchial.

I work midnights now,  and last night I hardly coughed at all.

Chris...are you in the medical profession?
