No, seriously. I have the croup. Big barky coughs and so much trouble sleeping. The doc put me on Tessalon perles and I'm taking sudafed for my sinuses and ibuprofen for the headache. The perles wear off after about six hours (dose timing is every eight hours), and I don't mind a hot toddy but that won't do at work. Any suggestions for something to get me through the workday? I'm allergic to most cough suppressant medication-- if it has a narcotic (codeine) or narcotic derivative (dextromethorphan), I throw it up almost immediately. (It's actually kind of amazing how quickly my body reacts to it! "Nope! Nope! OUT!")
The
croup, y'all. Damn. That's a little kid's illness! It's not fair!!!
