I had the same thing at the end of September into October and it has returned on 11/14 with a vengeance. When I had this in Sept it started off as a sore throat/post nasal drip. My doctor said it was an allergy related illness...but it lasted for 3 weeks and progressed to cough and phlegmy cough.... then disappeared.<br> <br> Now it's back and this time started with a cough with general malaise and sluggishness and then progressed to post-nasal drip and sore throat (to the point of losing my voice) and now cough/runny nose/slightly stuffy nose.<br> <br> I work in an office environment. I am fastidious about washing my hands during the day and not touching my eyes, mouth etc after touching someone elses personal items (desk supplies etc). I do not have a comprimised immune system but I keep catching this whatever it is.<br> <br> How can I beef up my immune system and take precautions to not get this multiple times in one season? Any tips for getting rid of it now? I've stayed home from work all this week and stayed in bed and I still feel crappy. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.107339 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:57:11 -0800 allergy cold cough postnasaldrip sick nougat http://ask.metafilter.com/28443/Stop%2Dthe%2Dsnot It's that time of year and I've got my first cold.
