I know that I had a sore throat
and cough, the latter gradually increasing in intensity
and dryness). Now, supposedly recovering from whatever it was I got, I started having this peppery sensation in my lungs and more dry cough that wakes me up at night. Of course, my GP suggested that I take antihestamines for a while. Hayfever got to me after all.
However, I really can't stand jumping out of bed EVERY NIGHT for the last 3 days, coughing and gasping for air.
