Don't know if it's because I'm getting older or the germs are getting stronger but damn, this one knocked me on my ass. Finally back among the living and looking forward to my first cigar in over a week now. Haven't posted much lately, didn't want you guys to catch this bug, lol.

    Be careful, untreated sinus congestion and infections can lead to pneumonia. Got my wife last month.

    My wife had a low-grade congestion, drainage from which caused her to cough. A lot. Little known fact: adults can cough hard enough to crack a rib. My wife didn't, thankfully. But the more you know.

    At any rate, she figured it was a virus, but was told today that she has a non-strep infection and finally got some meds.

    untreated as in the antibiotics? or as in taking OTC medications?

    In my woman life partner's case, both. She went to bed every night congested, and while she slept all that junk went down her throat and in to her lungs. Some Mucinex D and she could have avoided all that.

    No prob. Make sure you either use Mucinex and Sudagest OR Mucinex D BUT NOT BOTH. Mucinex D has the same active ingredient as Sudagest.

    I am right there with you. I had my first cigar in 2 weeks on Sunday for Bigshizza Day. It tasted so good. The drainage and the fever really kicked my butt.
