ok maybe of you actually have some background in medicine or know something about what i might have, because i cant seem to figure this out.
my mother and her husband both had a severe bout with the flu recently. i was lucky enough not to catch it.
but, my stupid *** self acidentally left the windows open in my room on monday night, when the temps dropped drastically. well the next morning i woke up with not a sore throat, but a "dry cough". eventually it turned into a dry cough + head congestion.
this is the weird part. i've had the same symptoms since tuesday (dry cough, head congestion, but no runny nose).. i always expected it to get worse and turn into the flu, but its been DAYS (going on what like day 5 or 6 now) and its the SAME symptoms and it hasnt worsened or got better.
it doesnt seem to be the flu or a cold, because there are other symptoms with both of those. wtf is this and how long will it last? anyone have any idea?
