Speaking of coughs and things, I am still occasionally using the inhaler I was given but my cough is improving even if it sort of seems to come and go.
Like tonight as I sit here typing away I don't think I've coughed much all day. Maybe not at all? Or at least not memorably?
But last night? It got bad. I was doing the same as I'm doing tonight - lying relaxing on my couch before bed, but my cough just acted up.
I couldn't get it to settle, so I took a hit of inhaler. It didn't help enough.
I thought about it and realized I'd not taken an antihistamine in a few days and that maybe I needed to keep that up for a little longer so as I was heading to bed I took one and also took more inhaler and by the time I got into bed and read for a bit things had settled.
I took another antihistamine this morning and maybe that's part of why I haven't needed the inhaler today?
I'll probably still use it before exercise class and/or work maybe? But I am curious that a) my doctor recommended an antihistamine in the first place when b) I'd been using them myself for an annoying "allergy cough" for the last few years. I should maybe/probably look into that but... well, you know...
But yeah, my cough is still here from time to time. Sometimes worse and I'm not 100% sure why and sometimes better and hopefully soon to be forgotten.
