Yes, it is awful. The scary part is his ordeal was “mild”. Those with severe symptoms end up in the ICU.[/quote]
Thanks for this link. [/quote]

Hot tip: unless you’re in a public place and worried about spewing germs everywhere: DO NOT TRY TO SUPPRESS A COUGH if you can cough up phlegm or mucus. Sorry for the all-caps but leaving junk in your lungs can lead to pneumonia, in the case of any bronchial infection. In the hospital after surgery they give you these breathing things to get your lungs to full capacity. Once I had pre-pneumonia junk in my lungs and the nurses made me use that thing a lot (sorry I forget the name). It hurt like hell because I had just had major abdominal surgery. But I coughed it all up and I was no longer trending toward pneumonia.

Not saying this is a sure way to prevent pneumonia but people should know that suppressing coughs an be really bad. [/quote]

I had pneumonia from the flu once (I have asthma too) and the doctors all said to not suppress the cough.   I took Mucinex (EXPECTORANT ONLY), 2x a day and I had saved that thing they give you in the hospital and used it hourly.  I was on my nebulizer 2-3x a day, hot steamy showers 2x a day and contestant saline.  Took about a month for me to fully recover.  I was in bed for two of those weeks.  I really don’t want pneumonia again so since I currently have a cold, I already started a low key version to keep it out of my chest.[/quote]

I wish I had saved mine! It’s incredible, the way you think you’re breathing deeply when it’s actually very shallow. [/quote]
