[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1142679, member: 41816"] Had something similar myself about 4 weeks ago - still got the lingering cough, I am sorry to say. Didn't have such raised bg, and I did have a temp, but the dreadful sore throat and coughing - it was like my lungs were trying to turn inside out every time, and walking, talking, even eating would disrupt my breathing, and set off a coughing spasm. Of course, I have no idea whether what you have is the same, RRB, but just in case it is: I found that sleeping in a reclining chair helped tremendously. Couldn't sit up cos my head needed support, and couldn't lie down because it started the coughing. Sleeping reclined REALLY helped. Drank as much as possible (used Sambucol Fortis, sugar free and sambucol effervescent tablets, Night Nurse capsules, which are OK for diabetics, and echinaea drops) Chicken soup when I felt like eating. It was nasty enough, and lasted long enough, that I actually think it was REAL flu, not just some virus. It has taken 3-4 weeks to feel right again - the main lingering symptom was deep tiredness, so please don't try and do too much, too soon. Rest, take it easy, and pamper yourself. It will help. Hope you feel better soon! [/QUOTE]
