As some others said....there is a "bug" going around that is a respiratory/flu thing. I had it, it begins with a scratchy throat then goes into coughing (A LOT) and blowing. Stomach feels queasy and you have an achy, blah feeling along with it. Mine lasted about 4 weeks with the cough lasting a bit longer...mostly in the morning and evening. It's ALL from the throat up.

I did see a doctor 2X as I have a tendency towards sinus/ear issues along with bronchial (which has gone into pneumonia) in the past. With several autoimmune issues going on too, I can't be too careful. So otherwise wash hands frequently (if you've so far been missed by this) and rest helps too.
