It started with sinus headache and stuffy nose, then drainage. It s been 5 weeks the drainage has manly stopped. But my throat is sore, red, has red bumps on it. I can not stop coughing. It is si bad it makes me throw up and my abs are killing me from tensing up. I ve tried sines meds, cough syrup, cough drops, salt water, hot tea. What do I need to do.? I don t think it s strep it doesn t hurt that bad it s the cough. Thank you
