It's official. I've had larygitis for 3
weeks.
It started off by babysitting my nephew,
whom had the croup, and coughed and
sneezed in my face.
I went home and in the next few hours, got
a stuffy nose, chills, sore throat,
headache and just felt downright tired.
I also developed a cough (couldn't
classify it as dry or productive but in
between). I began to lose my voice until
you could barely hear me. It's been 3
weeks and I still can't talk! Only one
side of my throat hurts to swallow, and
that isn't even the entire time, it only
hurts occasionally. I've been drinking
tea and soup and have a vaporizer on
during the night but every morning I wake
up and nothing has changed. My voice
isn't as cracky but it does fade in and
out and gets worse the more I speak. I
don't really even have a cough anymore,
two days ago it was a very dry, hacking
cough. Now I barely cough and sometimes
spit something up that looks like a few
small lumps or drops of mucus but nothing
like what I was spitting up before. What
could it be?
