Random respiratory virus came thru our house. Not covid or the flu. Cough and congestion low grade fever. Persistent cough.

Sounds like RSV which is pummeling the country at the moment. Also dealing with a lingering cough.

Feel better !

Got it and still have it. The 1200mg Mucinex is saving my life.

Oh Lordy. The 1200 made me feel slightly…drunk? I felt a little out of it and not in control. It did however clear my chest well enough to be light as a feather. I’m probably sticking to regular strength mucinex.

Just came out of a week+ of this. Tested at the clinic, no strep/flu/COVID. Doc said it was something viral and that she has had like 40 cases come through in a day. I myself know 3 other people who caught the same thing I did

Same here, also not RSV. Kids are over it now but we are now in thick of it. Took a walk today and got worse so now I wonder if I actually have allergies? I don't know

Had that shit too. Started with a congestion headache day 1, then body aches day 2-3, days 4-10 coughing. Was so annoying. Low grade Vicks formula cough medicine did nothing.

Same same! Along with about a week and a half after recovery getting a 24 hour stomach bug that was gross and terrible. Not food poisoning. We all ate the same things and I was the only one sick with it.
