For seven or eight nights I have been coughing for hours (like all night) and not getting much sleep. I had convinced myself from past experience that nothing would help (I swallowed a lot of honey) and that only time would cure my cough. I soon became exhausted and my throat was worn out with coughing. There was no indication of improvement. I was convinced that I was going to die in the middle of the night while coughing.
Yesterday I had an appointment for an eye exam at the VA Hospital. After My eye exam I went to the Emergency Room. After 2 1/2 hours of waiting the Doctor gave me a prescription for some allergy medicine and a bottle of tussin DM (a over the counter cough syrup). Last night I took a swallow of the syrup before going to bed and slept all night!
Why did I not go to the drug store and get some tussin DM a week ago? Sometimes I do things the hard way.
