Stop working for the asbestos removal company / stop working in a coal mine / textile mill / sawmill / world war one / other occupation that can harm your lungs?

I vote for allergies.
I'm ready to take a nap right now as a result of daily allergy wipeout.

its been going around bad here in MI. I was just talking about it with my son's teacher today. Its terrible this year.

Wait it out, drink lots of fluids, and lay off the crack for a couple weeks. You will get better.

There is a virus causing very bad post nasal drip that is leading to bad coughs going around in Central NJ. A lot of people are also complaining about seasonal allergies this year, even though they never had it before.

You don't really want to know, but you could google it if you really want to.

Good rule is to go see a doctor if you've been feeling the same or progressively worse over 3 weeks with a cold. Sudafed is good for post nasal drip. Try that before bed for a few days.
