Until last Tues! I have strep viral infection..No covid or flu which is good..So was put on amoxi for than went back to the Dr 2 days ago for eye redness and discharge and have pink eye!..Going back to the Dr today. MY voice is still not all the way back still coughing my head off and snotty nose. So not getting much better. Haven't had any energy to workout feel all gross and frumpy lol..Just ranting;/
 
SO i'm still not well coughing especially at night time it's so bad..And I have hardly a voice( forgot what my normal voice sounds like:( Going on week 4.. I feel OK no fever been on antibiotics and the Dr says there's not much more they can do but just take cough med and cough d4ops...I really just started working out with out coughing my head off 3 days ago. I been doing everything tea honey gargling saltwater. I WANT MY VOICE! Anyone going through this. i've been very depressed
 
I'm sorry to hear you're still going through this. Maybe an ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist could help. Or maybe it's an allergy - you could request a referral since it doesn't seem to be an infection, although some viral infections can hang around for awhile ...
 
I hope you feel better soon. Last year, I got sick at the beginning of December and was sick pretty much the entire month. I was negative for Covid and flu but coughed like I’ve never coughed before. I went like 5 straight days and nights coughing nonstop with no sleep. I think I slept on 3 pillows and even tried to sleep sitting up. I missed Christmas because I was still coughing and didn’t want to be in a house full of people. And the same thing happened to me- i lost my voice and was hoarse for weeks. Actually i liked how I sounded because I could say silly things and they sounded sillier because of my voice or lack of. Urgent care just said it was all the upper respiratory crud that was going around Last year.
 
Thank you:)) I at least just want my voice. I am a receptionist and it makes my job 10 times harder co workers hel0 me answe the phones because sometimes my voice doesn't work at all. I can't miss anymore days because almost the whole month of November I was off.
 
If the coughing is still especially bad at night,
is it possible running a humidifier in the evenings in your bedroom would help reduce your coughing so your vocal cords could have more time to heal?
