been to see the doctor...

[julesjones]

The cough's getting worse, so back to see the doctor this morning. Apparently a) I still have the virus even if I've been feeling a lot better other than the persistent cough, b) I'm already doing pretty much the right things about the cough off my own bat, and there's not a lot more she can suggest. Keep using the steam inhaler, don't bother with the menthol crystals added to the water. Keep taking aspirin, stop using the aspirin-with-codeine since the codeine's cough suppressant effect isn't working. (I didn't bother pointing out that I'm taking the co-codeine before bed for the pain and general sedative effect as well as the cough.) Have a prescription for an inhaler, which may or may not do some good. I haven't tried it yet, but will use it before I go to bed. Which should be soon, given how little sleep I got last night.
