I still have a cough, but that’s more a cold-weather induced asthmatic problem, and not likely to improve any time soon. We had more than a week of below freezing temps, and two days with windchills of -30 to -40F which definitely didn’t help. Last Thursday the temp shot up to 55F, and then promptly fell 20 degrees the next day. 🙁 The frigid air aggravates my asthma, even when I’m careful to cover my face when outside, which means the scar tissue from coughing has no chance to heal. It makes for a long winter. 😐
