I have had a persistent dry cough for nearly 2 months now. I now have a 101 temp, headache, body is achy and am cold in a house that is 80 degrees. I also continue to have throat irritation maybe due to the cough and some flem in the back of my throat. I have been on a strong over the counter cough medicine which I take nearly every night except last night which seems to keep my cough calm most of the day until evening - it is a narcotic cough med. i most recently have been taking a generic allergy need that did seem to help some until today. I have been treated by the doctor with a z-pak, prednisone, and then again with a stronger antibiotic and continue with the cough medicine. I am always very healthy but can’t seem to get over this and the fever, nausea, headache, and being cold are new symptoms. I am tired of feeling this way.
