There's some nasty respiratory shit going around in the bluegrass. My kids brought it home. I was one coughing fit away from taking my son to the ER a couple of nights back. You feelin better DP?
(believe we have Misery, ahem, excuse me, Missouri, to thank on that count)

There's too much media panic about antibiotics.

Yes, they have been overused, but there are new antibiotics being developed.

Your point is well-taken - there is too much hysteria, and new antibiotics are being developed.

I noted one significant change at a doctor's visit - they've stopped writing RX for antibiotics on an initial diagnosis of bronchitis (which makes sense, as it's often viral).

I have it too but for some reason it's not a very intense cold. I usually overmedicate though and end up sleeping a lot as a result and I wake up feeling better. Sleep, vitamins, and minerals always help. I started taking a multivitamin the day I got ill as well. Maybe that helped?

Considering my profession I'm really reluctant to take medication unless I'm really sick.

Generally I'll lock myself away from everyone and just sleep as much as I can.

I usually load up on vitamin C and zinc during the day. Then at night I take sudafed and benedryl so I can breathe and get a solid nights sleep. I always get better quicker if I manage to sleep well at night.
